As some of you probably know, Dynamic Drive (ARS) is an option in Europe. I've tried to build an E60 550i on the BMW website, but I've found out that I can't get Dynamic Drive if I choose the sport package.

Will I lose some driving experience if I make my own sport package, which is going to contain:

Shadowline exterior trim
Dynamic Drive
Sport suspension
172 style wheels
M-steering wheel

I can always add the aero-dynamic kit later on...

Thanks in advance

Hi Kim good that you asked, not at all.
Exactly I had the same dilemma and that is why I opted a stock one but with almost all options and went then to Hamann. (soy ou can do the same with ///M kit spoliers, there will be no difference as the look concerns, the comfort of the DD with comfort seats are more important than the M suspension, I prefer that in the M5

So get the options you mentioned, anyway the M kit wud not include 172 style wheels, so better to do that separately, get a " stock car with M sports steering, I luv that and with the DD and sport suspension -IT IS so AMAZING!!! and AS and ask your dealer for ///M sports spoliers and you will not regret it, if you really want you can also get the ///M side sills,etc.

Good luck!

Not sure if the E60 is the same but the Sport Package on the E39 also included a differential with more agressive gearing.
