Recently found a 335xi with m sport opted. Wondering how much it's worth

[jd_perspective]

probably between $2 and $50k if it's used....

in all seriousness with the info you gave....

[sapota]

Are you asking How much the option is priced at?

Assuming it is a 2015, the MSRP is $3k.

Since its AWD, the M-sport doesn't really change the suspension from base suspension.

You get some different plastic bumpers, a different steering wheel & sport seats.

I suggest you use www.google.com and bmwusa.com and reading through this forum.

Steering wheel makes it worth it. it's beautiful, feels good in the hands, and is smooth leather.

Wouldn't get another BMW car without M Sport. Too bad that car is X Drive without DHP.

[RM7]

M sport for the x drive doesn't mean much, except that it will lack the 704 suspension, so unless it has the DHP, which is rare from the dealer, it will usually be the worst suspension tune that BMW offers.

As someone posted above, the M-Sport package is a $3,000 option. So, if you are asking how much more a pre-owned vehicle with the M-Sport package would cost, I would say roughly $1,000 more than a non-M-Sport car.

Aside from that, the appearance aspects of the M-Sport package are well worth it.

Msport

You get:
M sport front bumper
M sport side skirts
M sport rear bumper + diffuser

Different Wheel options

Antharcite headliner
MSport steering wheel

Non Xdrive - Msport suspension

I will not get a Bimmer without Msport pkg

Msport replaces that ugly beak/front end. To me that's worth it in itself. Good luck.

I like my Sport line /ugly beak front end just fine, thank you. And I also get the anthracite headliner. (Insert oohs and ahhs here).

I too like the basic look of the F30.
M-sport is simply different.
"Better" looking is a personal choice.

2016 Msport is $2600 for 340i, and for that you get the M steering wheel and the M body kit, Msport suspension, M footrest (not in beige interior).
What's interesting on the 2016 demo configurator is that Msport shows 4 pot front and 2 pot rear calipers. That's different than pre LCI where Msport showed the same calipers
as a standard 335i.
I haven't read that BMW upgraded the Msport pkg brakes from what they were before, but the pictures look different.

328i Msport pkg also upgrades the front calipers to 4 pot fixed and 2 pot fixed rear calipers, along with larger than stock rotors.
Msport pkg brakes also get higher friction pads vs the stock brakes.
At least up to pre LCI the Msport pkg brakes had the higher friction pads, and I'll guess they still do.
It's a pricey pkg, but you do get some nice mechanical upgrades along with the cosmetic pkg.

For $1700 you can get the track pack that has M-sport brakes, adaptive suspension, VSS, and dark grey wheels w/non RFT tires.
Seems this package replaces the former "sport" package, but not includes VSS, blue Msport brakes, and Madaptive suspension.
The former sport pkg included sport seats and the static Msport suspension. Sport seats are not standard on the 3 series for 2016.

I'm deciding my exact 340i setup on whether to go with Msport or track pack.
I don't want both because I think BMW's pricing to get both is too high.
It's like you pay to get some upgrades and then pay to remove some of those upgrades.

For example the wheels. If you get Msport you get the Msport upgraded wheels, but then when you add the track pack it removes those wheels and adds the dark gray only wheels. IMO the dark gray are not an upgrade just different.
Track pack with Msport should allow the option to keep the Msport wheels and not force the buyer to get the dark gray wheels.
Track pack is pretty much the former DHP-dynamic handling package, which came with VSS and Madaptive suspension, and now also includes the blue Msport brakes.

DHP was $1000. Blue Msport brakes were $650. Total $1650.
Track pack is now $1700 and forces you to get the dark gray wheels.
I would love to be able to get the silver painted version of those wheels just like the 340i w/track pack cars BMW had for the press release.

I called BMW to ask if we in the US can get those track pack wheels in silver paint, but it's a "No".
I don't hate the gray wheels, but I also don't love them.
To me they look better in silver.

[omgitsjoe]

M Sport is a " must have " IMHO

[RM7]

I'm split on the m sport and sportline front ends and fascia, I don't think either one is clearly better, the thing that does look better is being a little lower, but that doesn't apply to the x drives, so I went with sportline and dhp.

[G30 B58]

No one has mentioned the additional coolers with the M-Sport package. You do get them right?

For a 2013 335xi with m sport and 45k miles on it, what would be its ideal price range?

You can use Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds to get a more accurate estimate, but based on the residuals and factors like location, you're looking at a sticker of between $32K-$34K.

Then you should be able to negotiate a few thousand off. If you're in or near Chicago, NYC, Boston, car should be cheaper since there are more of them.

However, just X Drive with no DHP sucks balls.

Thanks for your advice! I live near Chicago and the dealer is asking for 35k. The car is fine but it doesn't have a paddle shift even with a m sport package opted. I feel like I could argue at least 3k off that price.. I'm okay with the suspension tho

If it doesn't have the paddles, that means it isn't the Sport Auto. The standard auto isn't very good if you plan to do some spirited driving.

Some others may say it can be coded, but it's a little more to it.

If you decide to go with that particular car, that's at least worth $3K off alone based on principle. Make sure the sales guy knows that you know the difference. Standard auto and X Drive means the M sport is just a cosmetic package.

Yeah that can be a major deal breaker... I might just settle with a e90 335xi with even lower price but zf 8hp really makes difference here.

And depending on your wheel or brake selection you also get a different intake and auxiliary oil cooler.

This is useful on the track.

Of course, that is only if you are considering a no-line as an option. If you are looking at getting a different package, the M-sport cost difference is less, since a sport line is what $2100? So the M-sport in that case is only $900 more. Totally changes the equation when you look at it that way.

Exactly. You can't code paddles to appear. If you have to reach down to the stick anyway you lose a lot of the speed int he shifts (the transmission is just as quick but the delay in reaching down and taking your hand off the wheel is added in where paddles don't have that issue).
