I have an AW 50i M Sport and love it, especially with the Beige Nappa interior. It adds a nice agression to the look. I don't care for the 19s but I get a better ride over the 20s and don't loose much in handling if any.

I personally love the MSport. The fender flares appear to be wider too giving it a more aggressive look (didn't actually measure, just by eye balling with a MSport next to a regular Sport package).

What color wood in that interior shot?

Richard in NC,
What color wood is that in your interior photo? Is that the "light poplar" or the "dark burl walnut" wood? It looks fantastic, as does your whole interior. Beautiful with the M-Wheel and the stitched leather dash. Gorgeous!

^ that's light poplar. I chose that to match the saddle brown myself. Otherwise I wouldn't go for wood.

Does anyone know how involved it is to change the springs on this 2011 m sport pkg?
The H&R springs I want are about 250.00 usd, what is a fair install price?
I am a DIY guy can I change them out myself?
I'm sure I need to reallign after installing new springs, right?
