are you guys really satisfied with the m sport pack?

BMW.straight6 · 07-30-2010, 11:50 AM

I'm gonna replace my '05 530i with the new F10 535i. What I'm concerned with is whether or not to get the m sport or just the SE version.

I'm not sure if I really like the m aero kit but what I do like are the wheels and suspension.

A lot of people were waiting for the m sport F10 because the standard one isn't aggressive enough. I really have to see it in person before I can make my choice.

What I want to know is, are you guys happy with the m sport pack or not?

For me it was worth it as i sported up my 525 to the point it was about £10 more per month for the M-Sport which gave me more and mainly more residual value when i come to sell her in 3-4 years

i would wait for the M sport version, but i like the way it looks. You may like it more in person like you said. I personally want X drive so i will be willing to wait.

We don't get the x drive version in the UK as BMW don't want to shell out the development for a RHD version....

No one yet, has the M-Sport pack the UK or anywhere! The pics on here are from BMW UK press cars (White F10 and Blue F11). Early cars arrive at dealers mid/late September (building last week of Aug).

The rest of Europe has stand alone M-Sport suspension option (without the full package). There are some Dutch and Swedish posters on here with this option and they like it! Check this http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=405658

i like the style and the carbon black option, not a big M enthusiaist. the wheel, suspension and the rims, love those 19" rims. i didnt want the 550 sport rims, they are fugly. i hope that the m sport has a different exhaust for the 550, dont like those rectangular ones. i will post my vehicle beginning of october.

All want is the steering wheel.

geneatals · 08-08-2010, 06:16 PM

unfortunately for the US market, the M sport pkg is purely cosmetic, no m sport suspension noted in the press release. The only deal breaker for me IMO is the rear, front and side looks good, but the rear bumper does not photograph well, I'm hoping it looks better in person like the actual f10. I'm on the fence about ordering an f10 for my next lease and was hoping the m sport pkg would push me to order one, but it really hasn't. Resale value isn't a concern for me as I'll be leasing it anyway....

I've been thinking more and more about just purchasing my current e60 and modding it: oem m tech kit, etc....

good luck with your decision....
