Are there any M-Sport owners out there? If so how do you like the vehicle so far? Coming from an 07 530i and looking at 535i with M Sport Package. Is the vehicle so low that you end up scrapping on dips etc? The effects really make the 5 look like a beast, I love the wheels. Also am I correct that if you get the M Sport package you don't end up with Run Flats?

Cheers

The E60 M-Sport package adds some really aggressive visual cues and minor mechanical mods [none to the engine or performance parts]

GET AN M-SPORT IF
> you dont mind a somewhat firm ride from the stiff suspension and the 18"/19" alloys on run-flats
> love the aggressive sport styling with front and runningboard skirts

DON'T GET THE M-SPORT IF
> worry endlessly about kerbed wheels [comes with the territory with big alloys]
> find dark interiors claustrophobic [the black Antracite lining replaces the usual light headlining]

In 2 years since I got mine [based in england] I have not scraped the skirts while parking or speed bumps/dips etc
I think the SE looks quite tame around its more aggressive cousin IMHO.

Cheers
