So ordering the "sport package" really comes down to whether you like chrome or black trim around the windows (comfort seats can be ordered separately).
All that together with the shadowline trim, sport package is a must! It often amazes me how lots of people think only "how is this going to look" vs. "how is this thing going to drive". If you buying bimmer for looks, you are buying wrong car. Buy bimmer for its performance.

Well, in addition to the things mentioned above, Sport Pack on 535i in USA also comes with sport tuned (lowered) suspension, active roll stabilization, one inch bigger wheels (of better design IMO, style 124) and runflat tires.

You should go for Shadowline.. It looks so much better than the chrome line..
