I dig the cap colors but I think theres too much color going on infront w/ the bumper reflectors + those kidney stripes(?), not my style but your preference!

I agree with too much color going on
I'll be getting rid of the orange reflectors soon.

^no, but I'm still on stock suspension.
Based on my research I shouldn't run with these sizes even when lowered though.

what makes it a "sport model" -- looks nice though. I did the sport transmission update to mine and changed the shifter out- to enable sport mode. Does yours come with that from the factory? but I do not see the updated shifter.....

On Xdrive models, the Sport package gave you shadowline trim, sport steering wheel and the 20-way multi-contour seats. The M Sports (seen here) received these items plus some additional M-sport badging, M Sport front fascia and 18" M Sport wheels. The SAT with paddles was a stand alone option IIRC.

Typically M-Sport models have an ///M on the steering wheel, wheels and ///M door sill plates.
