two questions on 3.0 M option..

Hello,
it's been a long time since i've visited this site...lots of new members and great posts!

i'm going to swap my 08 3.0 with an "010" model in a couple of weeks...
I like the new M-pkg option on the 3.0... yes it isn't a true M but i'm really not cray about spending $20 in gas just to circle around the block... and in the city there aren't too many places for me to really open her up..

a six definitely makes for sense for me... maybe even the 35d.

quick question on the M option... i noticed on the configurator that i can select the aluminum running boards but it won't update the image which brings me to believe this additional item is not compatible with the M-pkg aero kit....can anybody confirm this?

also, are there any other significant improvements over the 08 model besides the NAV HD, idrive quick access controls, and backup camera?

love the white... my current model is space grey with black nevada... anyone have the saddle bag interior? how does it look in person? any pics?

I'm no expert. but i think the M-Package comes with body colored running boards with a black traction grip on top of it.

I would confirm with the dealer

When I ordered my 48i M Sport last April, running boards were not an option.

This is what the "running boards" look like with the M Sport Package:
