Have you asked a US dealer if you can get the M-sport on a 535? That was one of the biggest lessons I learned by ordering a car. There are all sorts of options that they are perfectly willing to do, but that are either shown as not available on that model (interior/exterior color combinations), or are not even listed as options in the book at all. Things like soft close doors, perforated leather, vented seats are all available on the e- 60. Maybe they'll let you do an M-sport as well?

Others (above posts) have already confirmed it is not available on 535 in US.

Sorry to stray off topic...but what are the "soft close" doors that you mention...I didn't see them listed anywhere either as part of a package or stand alone option?

I never saw them either until I picked up my car last week. I think they are from the 7 series. If you just get the door in contact with the catch, it finishes closing the door slowly for you. Not sure of the utility of that one. It was on an M5, I think for about $600.
