I was just wondering after looking at some members cars...the kits look identical. Is one better than the other? I have seen complaints of a cheap lok wih the M-Tech front. Anyone have any ideas?

I thought that in the US the 550i sport aero kit has some ugly yellow reflectors on the side, is this correct?

The US 2008 550i sport has the yellow reflectors. There is no M Kit available for the '08 E60s beyond the 550i sport, but one is being developed (which will probably be the exact look of the '08 550i sport). The new kit that fits the '08s will have the reflectors per DOT regulations.

The 550i M-sport package is contains more than just the cosmetic changes... I believe you get the M suspension, exhaust, etc.
