I like the look, esp. the wheels. Too bad one cannot get the ARS on an E61. I'm not sure about all the M badged items. Kinda ersatz M Car. Since I had an M car until I grew too old (am 70), I feel BMW should restrict M-badges to real M Cars.

In the event, I may go with the M-Sport pack rather than the plan sport PAC, I like the comfort seat. BMW may be offering the kit as the E60/61 is nearing the end of its life (remember the 7L of ’86).

Im not sure how I feel about this…I like more aggressive beemers out there but I dont want to see the M named over used either.

At long last, years after everyone else it’s finally come to US(pun fully intended). Only question now is cost?? I’m going to guess $3-$3,500k?

about a year ago a german magazine described the future of the sports package, but it included real things, like bigger brakes and an extra 50hp for the 335. I’ve always wondered if these things would make it to the US. Maybe not…

Crazy that you guys get this before me, and I work for a BMW dealer. I am excited for this so much, I had just put in an order for a new 335i, and was going to add all of these parts. Now it will just come the way I wanted it straight from the factory.

Any ideas when they will release it for the 3 series?

5 Rakete; Reason its not for the 550i is because it already had the different wheels and Aero kit.

Doh! The early bird doesn't get the worm. Sad for those of us with '08 models. Though, I really only care about the headliner and wheels.

I guess this is BMW's answer to Audi's S-Line cars. Nice, but I'll echo the sentiments above that it would be great if there were performance or suspension related bits, too!

It’s huge for asthetic purposes alone. Especially with the headliner.

Yes, cosmetic. Curious that it appears to not be available on the 550i.

A good bit of news, still wish there was something performance related on the, this is mostly a decorating solution.
