IMHO, active ride stabilization is the real reason to get the sport option if you're thinking abou it... it makes taking corners with practically no body roll... makes a huge difference in my opinion... the z4 handles very well too, but does not have this option and it makes a difference... it makes the 545i sport i have "feel" like it corners better than the z4 when i drive both cars. much more confidence going into and coming out of turns. there's no aftermarket solution to replace that.

the 745Li i had came with that feature too... and it made that huge car take corners better than many midsize cars.

Totally agree. The heavier the car the more useful it is. The second reason is the car LOOKS MUCH BETTER with the 18s, wider rubber, and lower ride height. Well worth the $3K.

My two cents.

Thanks for all the opinions.? Bluerocket, do you have pictures of your car that you could post?? I am still wondering about those wheels.

Yes I'll try to do that. I'm having some issues with posting the image. I wasn't so sure about the wheels myself. The sport pkg wheels are real nice, but surprisingly I've had quite a few complements on the wheels.
