Hey jet190rs are you certain that the LCI 550 has m suspension, or is it simply in-house BMW sport suspension that is "recalibrated" for the 19 inch wheels and non-runflats.

you know as much as i do, the press material said m suspension so i thought it was the m suspension. if that's not the case anymore and they changed the ads, then i don't know...

I've been trying to get my head around this for some time . . . namely, what is the difference between the "M-sport" package that is offered in some/all non-US markets and the "sport" package offered in the US? Also, did/does BMW offer both the "M-sport" package and the "sport" package in some markets? Any help that you can provide is appreciated.

m suspension has m swaybars/anti-roll bars similar to the m5's (if not the same).
usa sport suspension has active roll stabilization swaybars/anti-roll bars. (also known as ars or dynamic drive)

in most other markets, dd/ars/our sport suspension was an individual option on any e60, except on a m sport e60. (you can't have 2 kinds of swaybars...so maybe the new 550i lci sport does not have the m suspension after all...???)
