Any experience with it, or do you think it is worth it? Dealer called me this weekend and said he has a 2010 with it on, and sent me some pics. I must admit it looks great. I have not had a chance to get over there yet, but my concern is it is going to ride much firmer than the regular sport package. Has anyone bought one yet and if so what are your thoughts, is it worth the cost? He said basically you get the regular sports package but the M supsension, ground effects, M steering wheel, and different wheels which he said come with performance tires rather than run flat tires. He said it is about $1,500 more for the M compared to the regular sport.

Looking forward to hearing any experience.

What he said is pretty much spot on.
As far as firmer ride, I don't know but, the suspension is same as the 550i sports suspension.

It's a 535i right? Get it..... The 535i with M sport also has an option to come with penatan alum trim, does that e60 have that also? If so, then for sure get it

The $1500 price difference is a small increase when you look at the extra's: M tech kit and M sport suspension....only thing I don't get is why the m sport pkg does not come with staggered wheels.....

I picked up a 2010 535i with the M Sport Package. It's fantastic! The ride is great. I like the wheels much better than the ones that come on the standard Sport Package. You also get the anthracite headliner.

I attached the 2010 5 series wholesale price sheet just in case you hadn't seen it yet.

hmmm I thought only 550i gets M tuned suspension?
I thought I read that in the magazine couple months ago.

When both models choose M sports package,
550i gets actual M5 suspension plus cosmetics while 535i gets regular sport suspension with M cosmetics.
Hmmm I guess BMWNA now offers both M suspension on both.

I guess, but I just read the magazine again where they test drive updated 550i
and they clearly mentioned only 550i with M sport pkg gets M suspension and said
not to confuse with 535i with M sport pkg cuz 535i gets normal sports suspension with
M cosmetics. And they mentioned they would prefer 535i with M sports suspension but
BMWNA won't allow this.
This magazine was issued just couple issues back.... Oh well...

The M sport pkg with m sport suspension for 535i was only available since March 2009 for MY2010.
Also the M suspension isn't the same as the M car suspension ( I don't think ) the M suspension is the same retuned suspension that has been on the 550i.
