how much u guys pay for your sport package + SMG. It will cost me more than 20k US, which is the price difference between a 545i and 530i in my country.

What I remember $3000 for sport and $0 for SMG in the US. All trannies are no cost options. Sport is generally a great deal.

I didn't even know that color was offered. I have Sapphire Black, and just thing this car looks exceptional in the various black colors.

I spent around $3k for sport package, and think it's worth every penny. I have the 530, and the sport package makes the car. well, xenons and active steering are also awesome. Well, no that I think about it: Everything on the car is awesome.

Just had Huper Optik tint installed this week. Amazing!

On a 530i, SMG was a $1500 option and also required the sports package of $3300...so for a US 530, it was just under $5000 to go from a non-sport manual to an SMG tranny.

I believe SMG was a no-cost option on the 545i at the time of my 530 order. Not available on US 525.

I had the Huper Optik installed on my baby last summer> It made a huge difference in the inside temp of the car. Living in a climate that gets well into the 100's most of the summer it is a must have.
