I seem to remember reading that the 550i Sport Package would include the "M" sport/appearance package as well.
Does anyone know if this is a "no cost" addition to the sport package?
Knowing this would really help in deciding between the 535i vs 550i.
Thanks!

Correct, the ZSP package (Sport) on the 550i includes the M-Kit ... so it's part of the ZSP option price - which we don't know yet.
However, the 535i ZSP package does not include the M-Kit, so you should count on $2,750 to install that as an extra if you want it.
And we don't yet know what the price difference will be for ZSP between the two models.

The 550 Sport's aero package apparently comes with side sill extenders. I only recall front and rear bumpers on the old aero package. It this an add for the new model?
550i Sport Package includes Aerodynamic Kit that contains body colored side rocker panels and body colored front and rear bumpers.
Sounds like the same set up as the m sport package which has been around in Europe for a while now.

From the Strategy BMW Dealer Bulletin (MY2008 5 Series Facelift) which was posted in a different thread;

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
The real question is : Do you get M5 TIRES (read: NON-thumpflats)? That alone would be worth the price of admission.
