At the Nordic countries (and German) markets we now have four special E60 models for sale:

M Sport
Exclusive Edition
Lifestyle Edition
Sport Edition
BMW Individual Composition

Plus three other packages:
Advantage, Comfort and BMW Individual Composition

BMW Nordic is fully owned by BMW Ag, so what they do in Germany we also get.

Ricracing, isn't the M-Sport and the Sport Edition the same thing now?

im glad you have everything better in Finland.
is your ice colder than everyone else also?

Lucky to say that a lot of things are better in Finland compared to the UK.

The snowy and cold winters are not.

When I was buying you couldnt get the heated steering and the grey headliner in the Sport even if you were willing to pay. I think there were some other restrictions too but can't remember. For me the biggest thing that made me go with the SE was the suspension, I didn't like the Sport at all on the UK roads.

I just knew this Q will come up and the answer is no.

The M sport has the M bumpers and skirts but the Sport Edition don't.
Also some other small details differ (steering wheel etc.)

Thanks for your clarification, but there again, I'm still confused with what is shown in the picture here which I obtained from BMW's press club page. Clearly it does show an M-Sport here but it says Edition Sport.
