Guys, After driving a 535 with the Sport Package I have determined that it is a must have. However, if I locate and purchase a vehicle without it, are there aftermarket upgrades that could be added on to the vehicle to get close to the suspension performance of the Sport Package upgrade? Thanks for your feedback!

Some people are willing to sell their factory sport suspension after upgrading to coilovers. Keep an eye on the classifieds or post a WTB.
