My Ride: 2005 545i Titanium Silver/Black/Poplar: Steptronic, Sport, Cold Weather, Premium Sound, Comfort Seats, Sat Radio, NAV & Shades
I don't see the 5 series handling is better than the 335i...I think the 335i handled as well as my 545i.
I gave it an extensive test drive on the highway, 3 different drives actually...I didn't hear much noise at all. No noiser than my 5 series.
As far as the steptronic goes, It is much smoother than the step in my car. They made big improvements here.

By M-Pack you mean lowered suspension? I guess aerodinamical changes have no visible effect to handling whatsoever. What else I am missing?
M-pack have different antiroll bars http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=24047&hl=

I am not sure, are we talking about factory fitted option or aftermarket modification?
If it only was aerodynamics why would people pay so much more for this option
