I believe these color options are available via BMW Individual, which is not an option for U.S. customers

yea I read about sepia black from the 5 series individual link.

The sport package cost me 14K US with tax. A alternative is to fit in the sport package afterwards. But I have no idea if the sport package can be put in a separated order.

I am goin back Hong Kong in sept. I may not get the car without the sport package. I got about 10 days to think about it so that my order can be rushed into the july production.

Sepia Black is similar to Carbon black but in a combination of grey and black instead of blue and black.

14K is alot. What is included with the sport package in your country? Are import duties that high or does it have anything to do with right-hand drive? What is the cost of the car (530 premium and sport)?

Elise,

It looks that you call M-package(M-aerokit,M-suspension,M-wheels,M-sills,other M-tech staff,etc) a "sports package". Its price in Europe starts from EUR 4,650(maximum) depending on the model.
Take care Sepia BMW Individual color in flesh has VILOET hue. You might be misslead by the pictures.

Igor, thanks for your infomation.
right, I guess they are the same thing(M-pack and sport pack), which come with a a set of sport seats, bodykit, suspensions, steering wheel, 18" wheels)

a 530i with the sport package and SMG options would be roughly 100k US, a 545i would cost another 20k on top.
