Hey guys! Why does the 2006 530 Sport package only cost $2300 when it has the same stuff that the 2005 545 has and that cost $3300? :'(

Welcome aboard Euro Speedster!

Sorry I can't answer your question. It seems that you're right. The only difference as far as I can see is the wheel and tire size. Perhaps the information on the website is not accurate?

The sport package wheels are different in the 545.

The 2006 530 will not include the active steering, that is why it is cheaper. The website is now updated with the pricing to reflect the active steering as a stand alone option, independent of the sports package.

Thanks for the replys but you cant seriously expect to pay $1000 extra when both are 18" wheels.. I know the widths are different but still...

Actually thats not true because if you build a 530 with sports package the active steering goes to included.

Did you read my post, it has nothing to do with the wheels.
