does the sport package really add anything to the xi models?? :confused:
considering because i prefer the stock rims

lease coming up on my 530xi... :think:

Edmunds:

ZSP Sport Package
Includes Shadowline satin chrome exterior trim, 20-way (14-way power adjustments, plus 2-way power headrests and 4-way power lumbar support) Multicontour power front seats, active head restraints and sport steering wheel.

thanks

are those additions worth the price?
how do those "upgrades" compare. for example the seats?? the feel of the steering wheel. i have never seen/tried those options
anyone have pics?
can those seats be ventilated?

I have a 2007 530xi with the sport package and like it.

If you've already decided to get the multi-contour seats, which are great, then since the sport package for the xi doesn't add that much else, it's not that expensive either.

Functionally, the I prefer the sport seats, and the beefy feel of the sport steering wheel. But the regular steering wheel is fine as well.

Stylistically, I prefer the sport steering wheel and the black trim.

Yeah, it looks a hell of a lot better than the non-sport model. If you don't go with the sport package, you might as well go with Audi. JK! :P ;)

So, C.....does that mean I need to do some Audi shopping next weekend? :P

Doh! No, but you should swap your chrome trim for shadowline trim. I know you and I have discussed this before, but it needs to happen. I don't care if your car is silver. Shadowline just gives the car a more aggressive look and helps make the lines of the car a little more subtle. :thumbsup:

Well, my vibration and shimmy are all back to the way it was.....only took a week or so. I had the alignment and balance done (AGAIN) on the 10th, and it drove smoothly for 2 days, and then it all came creeping back....every day a little worse than the one before. I am at a loss after 4 wheel balances and alignments since May, and my dealer are idiots. So, AUDI it may be if things don't get fixed real soon. :wacko:
