e90 sport vs m-sport suspension

Thud · 07-14-2010, 05:59 PM

I searched around a bit and couldn't find a definitive answer...

What are the differences in the suspension with the sport pkg and the m-sport pkg in the 2011 e90? (specifically 335d)

The one I test drove was a normal sport and it felt just about perfect for a daily driver. Is the m-sport stiffer?

In the US, the suspensions are identical. M-sport is just a cosmetic upgrade.

Good to know. I like the black headliner more, but not $1600 more.
It does narrow down my choice of exterior color though.

well its more than just black headliner ... and from what i understand you can get the m-sport with any color offered

Yeah I know there are differences in the exterior fascias, but honestly I think the LCI sedan looks just great without them. I prefer the solid-color rear bumper too.

My first choice in color would've been Le Mans Blue though, but if I can't get that on a non-M-sport, then it's down to Vermillion Red or Deep Sea Blue.

msport may have better residuals... but tis' an expensive pack anyway you look at it. just do the math and see if it makes sense. you can get alcantara interior. i think msport aero parts just look a lot nicer than stock, especially on LCI wiht its bigger overhang on the front than non LCI.
