Perhaps the manufacture just added less padding material that the steering wheel is made out of and didn't feel it warranted a change in part number.
Which is weird because Porsche charges you more for their 380mm, larger girth steering wheel, while BMW is shrinking their's for free, without any notification.  : |
I think the "cosmetic" aspect of your rebuttal makes little difference - at the end of the day, it does appear as though BMW keeps part numbers the same while some aspect of the "newer" part can be different in reality.
I find it hard to believe that there's an internal distinction between different categories of parts, but I could be wrong of course.
Haven't had the chance to drive the M2C yet - really excited for M town, because I can drive our OG M2 and F80 right before the M2C. Should be a nice basis for comparison. |
I know my simile was a stretch.. But it's just new to me that a factory part would change but not the part number. I sure there must be a certain tolerance allowed in variation before it's a required part number revision.

At this point, I was just spitballing ideas and see which one sticks
This suspension mystery is quite intriguing..
