[/quote]yes, we in the US have sport suspension with ARS/DD, lowered, stiffer, etc,.... but in UK, your sport is actually M-sport, which is m-tuned suspension..

US 530i Sport (18" wheels RunFlats) does .90g on the skidpad. That's more grip than most people would be comfortable exploiting. If you want a track car, buy an Elise.
Claims that Dynamic Drive reduces "feel" are preposterous and contradict all reputable professional assessments. The system is simply an active rollbar system.

I think that the M sport supension, and in fact it's not only me, BMW thinks so, is the most hardcore sport supension out of them all...except of course the suspension from the M5. Period.

[/quote]Maybe someone could find out what the part numbers for M-Sport shocks and springs, and then compare them to the US spec sport package shocks and springs

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!

I saw a side by side pic of a M sport car and another car with ARS/DD suspension. The M sport suspension was lower.
