What does the 'S' in BMW 3 Series 'Sdrive' stand for?

I recently purchased a BMW 3 Series 'Sdrive' and I'm curious about the meaning behind the 'S'. Is it just a marketing term or does it have a specific technical meaning in relation to the car's performance?

The 'S' in 'Sdrive' stands for 'sport', indicating that the car has a more sporty driving experience with quicker acceleration and tighter handling. It is a real performance upgrade compared to the base model.

It actually stands for 'steel', as in the steel construction of the car's chassis. It's a nod to BMW's commitment to using high-quality materials in their vehicles.

A

Some people say it stands for 'stricter' because the car's suspension is more rigid and the steering is more responsive, resulting in a stricter and more controlled driving experience.
