hey guys i been looking at 545 w/sport package.
i was wondering what is it?i mean whats the difference with non sport?
how can i tell if it has sport p or non,some people are shady and i dont want to get one thinking it has it and turned out i dont.
thanks in advance....

The sports package has bigger wheels, sport seats, sport steering wheel, and suspension.

so powerwise is the same?
what size of wheels?and what are non sport size?

so if iam going to change the wheels and supension anyways getting sport package won't matter right?

can someone post pic of the sport seats and steering compare to non sport?

thanks...

Sport package has ARS.

The 545i Sport Package includes 18x8 (front) and 18x9 (rear) Star Spoke Style 124 wheels, 12 way power front seats, ARS (Active Roll Stabilization), sport suspension calibration, Active Steering and Shadowline Exterior Trim.
The 545i without the Sport Package has 17 inch wheels, unless you get the 6 speed manual transmission which will have the 18 inch wheels.

I'd say go drive one with the sport package. I think you'll find out that the suspension is sporty enough that you won't need to buy aftermarket suspension. If your not hitting the race track the BMW Sport package is going to be more then you'll ever use on the open road.

My 545i with sport package sits so nice and flat through pretty much any turn on the road way at pretty much any speed with in reason. Also keep in mind these cars are balanced 50/50.

words to live by. Always buy a BMW with Sport package...

yep, that's a sport package alright =) I do think you should definitely give the sport pkg suspension a chance first. Put the rims on and if they don't feel quite perfect, get to modding the ride height. But I believe it is lower than a standard car with sport pk, so you might be pleasantly surprised. Plus, I don't know how the roads are where you live, but around here (NYC area) 20's with a lowered suspension is a sure bet to get yourself a pretty expensive repair bill sooner or later...

Nice ride, though! Mine's almost identical except its an xi with a black interior, and I love the white on this shape - P E R F E C T !!!

nice license plate frame.

Does Sports Package mean it will have black moulding around the windows rather than chrome?

Yes

my 530Xi looks like it sits about a quarter inch higher off the ground then an i, so I would expect that to be true with the 535. But hey, you can always check the manufacturer specs :)

Thanks, gents!
