M-Sport Suspension...The Conundrum

tjtanker · 07-06-2007, 09:05 PM

So I went down to my friendly local German BMW dealership today to order M-Sport suspension for my 2007 335i w/ ZSP. I handed over a 500 euro deposit and my Vin # and awaited an answer on how long it would take to get the parts. The parts guy comes back and gives me my 500 euro back. He says "You have 2007 335i with sport package."
I say, "Yeah"
He says, "Yeah your car already has it, I checked it against your vin #, the part #'s for M-Sport are the same that you have on your car."
I stand there bewildered

I thought only european spec E90/E92's came with M-Sport in place of sport suspension. My car is U.S. Spec? Did i get hooked up from the BMW Factory?

Thoughts and Opinions are appreciated.

Tank, I was the a local shop yesterday for the same and went through the list part by part. There are differences ie the rear sway is 1 MM thicker and the springs give a 2cm drop. When they tried to pull the parts for an order it was denied.
There was a line forming behind me so I just gave up. I thought you had a line up on this. I was going to PM you for the info before you left Germany.
