Bet you're wrong about that! I'd wager that the M-Sport pack is coming to the U.S. as well, but only on the 550i. Why wouldn't they - the M5 pricing delta is going to be much higher on this go around.

I agree that M Sport Pak is coming to US. I can't see it being offered only in Canada. But, be prepared to pay for it. In Canada, it's more than twice the price of regular Sport Pak. Ouch!

im still holding my breath here in the US, but there is hope, the price is what it is, i just want the options from the factory installed, remeber, there is alot of stuff in this package and if you do the conversion of the price difference in the UK, its about close to $5K more than the normal E60

That's a pretty cool avatar.

Is there such a spoiler kit available for the e60 or was that photoshopped?

It's Hamann's kit. Here's a few pics.

550i M-pack has me excited...I was about to trade up my 330i perf. package to a 530i due to having my family of 4 due to increase to 5 later this summer. I drove the newer 255hp version but then drove a 545i...It was like night and day! Thank god their wasn't a 545 6spd on the lot. I later found out about the 550 and have been anxiously awaiting more press. Now I see everyone talking about an M-pack for this car....SWEET. That's what really makes my 330i great.

A couple of questions for you: Will the M-pack feature a better shifter? The 330i P-pack is 100 times better than what comes in a standard 330i. I also wonder if the suade steering wheel will be part of the M-pack. Lastly, anyone have experience with packing 2 car seats and a skinny 12 year old in the back seat?

See my previous posts in this thread about specifics on the M Sport Pak. The info is coming from the Product Planning Guide and shows options, codes and prices (but not for 550i yet). There is no mention of changes to shifter, steering wheel is the M version.

No problem for the e60. There's enough room for all three of 'em.
