However, apparently the M sport package (another $2k over the sport package) is no different mechanically than the sport package. It just offers body kit, bespoke wheels and M trim inside.

You've really got to know your stuff with all these offerings...

I walked into my local dealer and asked about the 4.4 LCI in the month that it was hitting dealerships. He had no idea what I was talking about... "Turbo V8? You must mean the X6 sir"
Actually the M Sport Pack includes Adaptive Drive.

I had adaptive drive on my 07 w/ 19's and I also have it on my 11 with 20's. I can say that on my 07, you could tell if you had the "sport button" on. I tested this many times on the same route many times. You can feel more irregularities in the road much more when you had the sport button on. My wife could tell if I had it on without even looking to see if it was no. It has been 45+/- days since I have seen my 11 with AD(At the dealer for issues) and cannot remember if i could tell the difference when I had the sport button on but then again I have 20's now. If and when I get my car back I can update.

So in the sport pack… what makes the car "sportier" execpt the AD? And it also mentiones sport suspension delete? What does the delete mean?

The "sport pack" has nothing to do with suspension.

The "M Sport pack" adds AD.

Seem my comments about the whole 'sport delete confusion'.

When in doubt, look at real oem and the part descriptors. Dealers are confused, BMW is confused.
