$3400 just for the parts? That would be a huge rip off since MSRP on the kit is only $1680.
Parts ($1680), plus paint and install, and a rear spoiler too, and dealer mark up. That's the way see it. If I buy the kit seperately, it would probably cost another $1500 for paint and install.

I see. With the spoiler included, you're probably a few hundred off. My total cost was about $2600 without the spoiler. If they make it an even $3000...that would be about right.

Here in Europe, the M-sport Package is a good bargain : if you are a dynamic driver, liking a car that looks sporty, it's for you ! M-Sport suspension (stiffer & lower), special paint (f.i. carbon-schwarz), M-Sport steering wheel, antrasithe roof sky, sport seats, styling 135M 18' wheels, ... and you get the aerodynamics (front + rear spoiler & lateral skirts) for less than 1.500 $ !!
Maybe UK is not in Europe now - Sports pack is $3000 and could hardly be classed as a bargain :thumbsdown:

Styling is personal choice therefore is not necessarily a thing of value - the whole cost of the sport kit becomes relative to what you get as standard and what you want.
1. The e60 already has a head lining, so what value having it Anthracite?
2. In many owners opinions the standard front and rear spoiler/bumper (fender) are more attractive - at least they look as though they were actually designed for the car;
3. Seats are personal choice - the "standard" seat is very supportive anyway - this has been discussed previously and many owners prefer the standard ones;
4. Steering wheel is a $125 option therefore cheap if you want it, suspension is $300.

Basically the Sport/M package is one fine earner for BMW
