Yep. The decontenting is a business decision to save costs and increase profit. That said, while they took away the power seats, at least they give you MDrive standard now.

The current MDrive requires IDrive. Speculation (I believe it is still that?) is that this one no longer does. It's the only thing that really makes sense, if you think about it, since IDrive is not standard so you can't make MDrive standard without either making IDrive standard or decoupling the two. Adding credence to the latter, the M3 GTS has (or seems to have - I haven't seen it officially confirmed, but it does have MDM for example) a non-IDrive dependent MDrive. So the software for the BC (the computer in the guage cluster) must already exist.
