BeeWang posted this picture in another web site. It shows the m sport package much better thanks to the lighter color of the car and I guess mother nature helps a little bit with extra sun at that moment.

Very nice pic.

I think BMW should have used 18x9 wheels for the rear. That would have made it a complete sport package IMHO.

I respect your opinion, but disagree. I believe this package would be extremely successful in the US if it makes its way here. I personally love the look. As for being an M5 wannabe, I think alot of people "wannabe" driving an M5, but 90K is not in everyone's budget.

I agree with you. 18x9 wheels for the rear should be a must for the M sport package. Hopefully they will do it for the USA market !

So, are those wheels all-round instead of staggered?

The Sportpack wheels are 18x8 all round. Even the very popular style 124 have 18x9 rear.

If they bring out a 18x9 135M wheel, I'll buy a set for the rear, but I don't see BMW doing that. Not even for the US market.

Think I'll look into what's available from other manufacturers.

Nice post you can really tell the M package on a lighter color

Is that clear eyebrow come standard on the M pakcage or is that just standard in other countries besides the states
