Sports Package - Buy or Not?
Is it really worth $4500? I have to get the 20" wheels if I get the sports pkg.

Worth it on the E70?

It will improve handling at the sake of ride quality. It is a personal selection. You can always buy the wheels after the fact, not as part of a package.

Around my area the road's blow, I have it on my 01 and I would never get a suv with it again. Way too bumpy, handles amazing though, I guess its a personal preferance

weird...I have sport, and with sport mode off I find the ride amazingly smooth. Smother than the non-sport model I tested at the dealer.

Are you guys talking about the 2007 X5 Sport having a rough ride or earlier models that have a very different suspension?

Skip it and just get the wheels seperately.
