Hi,

I have read many people just love this package on their 5 series.
Can someone explain what it is ? Also, is it available in the US ?

Thanks in advance,
-Nar.

P.S. Maybe this is a good one to go to the FAQ

M Sport Suspension? Is that becoming available in the US too? Would that still be select-able like the current sport suspension is?

Unless they've changed it, you can only order U.S. spec cars for ED.

Nope, no way, no how on an ED...BMW NA for the most part dont even know what the package is,

.... i've spoken to a dozen NA reps in the last year to try to get them to "let me" buy the pack but they are will not relent...so we have to pay the dealers to retrofit most things, but as stated above, we cannot get the M-suspension or the alcantara headliner

as an fyi, the pack is not cheap even when ordered in europe (currency conversion makes it about $7k US)but it does contain alot of things...M-tech aero body kit (front and rear bumpers,side skirts), M door sills, M kick plate, M-steering wheel, M135 rims, alcantara headliner, aluminium cube pure interior, and M-tuned suspension....just read my sig and you'll see my frustration

Theres no noticable difference between the M sport suspension and Sports Suspension available in the US. They both roll a lot compared to E39 std set up!
