Price difference in Finland is almost 5000 euros between sport and M-sport packages. There is also stated that you cannot install M-sport package and running boards... Guess they are bit different with M-sport and included?

The price doesn't seem quite so steep give that Leather and all is also included in the price (3.0is/d) and it will have a full body kit, also not being able to fit the running boards will save a little bit as I had always fitted these in the past just for looks as I found they weren't very practical.

Asked from my dealer about the M-Sport and he said that this option is available in july production. Still no pictures.

SO £1.7K for different roof bar finished, window frame finish and the body kit...
I am sure it will look nice but I am not crazy about it, happy with my SE in June...

Also ordered 3.0d with Sport package, should be here for July.

There is also no cost option in M-Sport to get roof rails in brushed aluminium. Can be ordered separately (3MA), after M-Sport package starts delivery.

I know where you are coming from, but this is BMW and they like to dig their arm in. On the E53, if you wanted to relace the standard front bumper and add the rear attachment to that of the 4.8is the dealers were asking around £1800.

I`ve ordered the Dynamic + Adaptive Drive packages. Think this about equals the Sport option.
The `M` sport seems to have a couple of exterior colours but thats it.

I'm with you on that

I think the SE with Dynamic pack is the thinking man's choice. I honestly don't think the bodykit adds anything to the car from what I have seen. One thing is for sure the Sport will not be worth £2000 more than an SE with Dynamic Pack come trade in time.

Have you seen pictures of the M-Sport? I'm not convinced yet either, however I have been waiting for the 3.0sd for so long that I will take the M-Sport as the SE version may not be out until next summer.
