M-Sport Package
Curious to see the poll here. I for one, have never owned a BMW without the package, nor a Benz w/o AMG. I'm all about the aggressive lines / aero kits, shadowline trim, wheels,rear deck spoilers, slight add in performance, etc.
The X7 M, actually comes w/ a M- tweaked transmission. When I choose sport mode and move shifter to the the left, the M colors appear on the dash and shifting much more aggressive.

We’ve also had several M’s and AMG’s, but I really dislike the black trim on the side and back of the X7 sport — unless the car itself is black. For that reason, I went with Luxury on this one.

It all boils down to each his own.

I too don't love the black trim. I did however get M-Sport brakes. So glad that was a stand-alone option. I also feel the area underneath the front grille on the M is not great looking. I don't like how the points go up and into the fog lights. If you chose black than at least you can't see that as much.

Definitely M-sport for me. This is why there's different options for different tastes. Me, I love everything about the M-sport and its associated options, but the biggest things for me are that I think the black shadowline trim looks much better, particularly on the color(s) I would be considering. Especially white. I think too much chrome looks tacky. And the front lower intake to me looks more muscular and athletic on the m-sport.
The one and only thing I wish you could get with the m-sport is the black 752 wheels, to match the black shadowline trim. Last edited by Wild Blue; 04-26-2019 at 12:50 PM.. |

We have a horse race so far, but M is pulling strong, as M always does.

Personally my wife wasn't a fan of the chrome on the lux package so losing the chrome and adding the benefits of the M package was a no brained for us. We will most likely add the blacked out grill like I've seen a few others on here too.

So, with that thinking, I have no problem buying the "M-sport" package, which in my mind, does not make my car an "M" in any sense at all. Just a "sport" package, and even then, again, mostly just a body kit. No way will I be one of those wannabe pukes and slap a fake M badge on the back of my X7. |

Whhhhyyyyy do people do that?? Anyone who appreciates what the M means knows theirs isn’t an M model and laughs at them, and anyone who thinks it’s real doesn’t know what M means anyway. Same with the faux AMG badges. I love when I see an E350 with an AMG logo.

I've had the M Sport package on my last four BMW's and the thought of buying the M badge to slap on the rear has never crossed my mind. If I want an "authentic" M badge, I'll buy a true M car. Wild Blue's comment: totally relevant! |

BMW puts M badges on the fenders of 3 and 4 Series M Sport models in Europe. Not saying it’s right or wrong but it is how BMW themselves have decided to brand the M Sport line in those markets. |

As far as others talking about slapping M badges on non M cars, totally agree! Total poser bs...

Personally, I think the chrome on lux black X7s is too much. On the other hand, the BMW configurator pic of white m-sports initially looked a little awkward to me (particularly the black strip on the sides). However, real world pics look pretty good. We ordered a mineral white m-sport, go figure.
