That explains why you're on the board so much! 7000+ posts! ![W00t](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/w00t.gif)
Either that or girls think you're an alcaholic. Haha J/K.
bestbuy,
I think you should get the sports package. It'll be hard for you to upgrade to a sports pack, but you could easily install aftermarket amps/speakers later when the funds allow.

I have both and as mentioned they are both great options. But the sports package makes it drive much better in my opinion and is the one I would choose if I could only have one.

It has to be the Sports package; even if you ignore the looks - and the sports package IMHO looks the business - and you ignore the seats - the ride/handling package is a big improvement.
My wife's car has Logic 7, so I had a chance to try it over some months before ordering mine; in the end the difference between the basic system and the hi-fi systespeakers is quite marked, but the difference from the hi-fi to Logic 7 wasn't that great, and with some music sounded really artificial; so I decied against the Logic 7.
Would your wife compromise and let you have the sports package and the hi-fi speakers......?almost the best of both worlds if she would....

Betbuy,
Sports package is the way to go. The handling is what makes this car great. I had a choice between a car with SP and no PP (includes logic 7 in Canada) and a car with PP and no sport. I chose the car with the sports package and have never regretted it. As others have said, you could upgrade the stereo later when funds permit.
Good luck with your decision. Let us know how you chose!!

I'm lucky enough to have both. But if I had to pick I would take the sports package. logic 7 is great and frankly an aftermarket kit would not be an option for me. I enjoy my music, but I enjoy the drive more. After all that is why you buy a BMW.
Am I wrong here??

Going to agree with the trend here. If you can have only one, sport package is an easy choice. I have both in the car, and the Logic 7 doesnt do much for news radio.
Get the wife to reconsider... you're about to drop 50K (more or less) what is another few grand to have what you really want...

I would sell your wife on how much those two options will increase the resale value down the road...come on you can do it! I guarantee you will wish you spent the $ on the options a few months down the road...

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON YOU! if u like music and listening to quality sound then get logic 7 if you like driving and taking nice turns etc... then get the sport package.........i must advise this though......i have a 545 and i didnt get the sports package but i got the sound package and ummm ya id rather have the sport lol also take into account that if you get the sport package without active steering its kinda point less =( so if your not getting active steering id get the sound!

For what it's worth, had the sport pack not been available I would not be driving an e60. The Logic7 is very nice, but I could have lived without it farily happily.
