My understanding is the MSport was first created for the UK market across the BMW range, it may now of spread to Europe across the range, I am not sure.

But it is not an M Version as we understand it, I think Le mans said this may well come with the X6.

Thank you for clearing that up!!

am I wrong?

Correct!
If you're thinking more HP you will have to wait for the "IS" or whatever name they give it.

The items included in the new E70 M-Sport option in the UK appears very similar to the the items which differentiate the X3 sport package from the non-sport. The only thing lacking in the US X3 sport package is the "M" badging.

I hope BMW plans adding these UK M-Sport features to the US E70 sport package. Just the elimination of the unpainted bumpers alone would be nice - just like the X3.

Nice wheels!

[PeteM]

I like those wheels glad I chose the 20's now I was a bit concerned.

Thanks Le Mans, as always the man in the know!

When do you think you will have more?
