M Sport Package - press photos

very nice I want one :)

I think I just order the ///M floor side boards, replace them with mine and call my Sdrive Z4 3.5i a ///M feels like an ///M to me anyway :)
 
I rode in both the 3.5 and 3.0 versions when they hit the Tallahassee Dealership. Awsome cars but I just can't do the hard top. I hope they do a soft top verson in a couple of years and some skirt kit would look nice too. :)
 
I guess I am a rag top kind of person. I have owned a Triumph TR6, Fleet wood Eldorado Caddy convertible (That was a boat) and now the Zed. When the wife and I started looking for a sports car we considered the Miata, S2000 Honda and the Boxster S Convertible, but the Z4 won out, looks power and we found the right one at the right price at the right time. :lol: I know the growing trend is the hard top convertible and some do look good, just not the Z4, it looks ungainly.

If we move up from the Z4 out intent is to find a 650Ci Convertible, or we may just get one anyway and keep the Z4. :thumbsup:
 
One of the reason I bought my E89 was the RHT. It is much better than fabric one on E85 (don't need separate cleaner and conditioner at least).
 
I agree that the non M packaged cars look better than their counterpart. I normally like the M cars, but I really believe that BMW rushed into this and haphazardly designed the M packages. The rear bumper is really hideous. I actually even prefer the rear bumper on the 23i, 30i, and 35i than the one on the 35is. Some of the after market aero packages actually look better than what BMW put out.

The beautiful simple classic lines of the E89 are lost with the M packages. It is apparent they just threw this together. BMW put out three model years in one year. IMO that is unprecedented.

No thanks, I will keep my 35i. Sometimes less is more!
 
I have asked to try a 35is at the Vines motor museum trip in a couple of weeks to see whether the extra power is worth the upgrade but I did have a look at one at Goodwood today and the rear bumper really does look like an add on, which does nothing for the look at all. I do remember seeing some pictures on here of a carbon rear diffuser - can't remember where from - that looked realy good.

There was a long and elaborate review of the E89 last year on either bimmerfeast or bimmerforums, I don't remember which but the car certainly got mixed positives and negatives. There was a Alpine white one on my dealers lot that actually looked really good. The two original dealer cars were Blue with White interior 35s or Black with red interior 30s. :D

I quite like the M Sport / 35is bumpers etc. Although I reckon if I already had a 35i I would be unlikely to spend a fortune swapping it out for a 35is.

The 35is really starts to make sense if you were going to otherwise purchase an M Sport 35i with DCT.

Meh.

No quad exhaust and a trivial amount of cosmetic tweaks. They could of fitted a stubby :roll:

To me this is no better than the chavs who stick M badges on their 320D.

If even BMW condone this it just devalues the real M cars.
 
i had the m sport package on both my 3 series and i don't think it does anything to devalue the real M, the styling, on the 3, looks much better with the package but on that model it is quite obvious it isn't an M.
I think people expect BMW to do these things and am surprised to think it might have a negative effect on the proper M's. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery after all :)
