ya pretty much what bimmer/renton said

It is a cosmetics package with stiffer springs.

Nothing like a real M, which has significant running gear upgrades and a completely different motor.

Cobradreamer427: It’s basically an aesthetics M-Series look-a-like kit with a few sporty driving add ons. Am I right here guys? Correct me if I’m wrong. Bimmer seems to know what he’s talkin about

Cobradreamer427,
///M Sport is not actual ///M-Series (///M3, ///M5, ///M6, ///M Coupe, ///M Roadster).

About headliner: I think it’s just Black, although last generation of ///M5 (E39) had Black Alcantara headliner (not sure if it was an option or standard equipment).

I still don’t understand… this isn’t the actual M series right?

amanda — it probably just means “black” , instead of grey or beige. Since Induvidual is capitalized, it must come from the BMW Individual division, how this is extra special I do not know, but it may be a higher grade of fabric.

What the heck is “individual anthracite headlining”? Is it just black headlining or is the cloth something special?

rey323, you should be happy yours are that cheap. Here it’s more like US$125,000

^^^ The S-Line is a sedan, this option is for the Bimmer coupes. The new coupes look better than any Audi.

Its true.

The S-Line with titanium kit looks a lot better than the M package…

Good looking car… *sigh* this is going to push the 335i with this option way over 50K…

if anything the interior additions are worth the upgrade alone…alcantera seat inserts and anthracite headliners. i dunno, depends on how much.

SUCKS!!! really really bad design doesnt even look sporty at all, does not attract attention whatsoever very disappointed in BMW

I wanna see more pictures and 335i Coupe only for me.

Very nice….3 series is easily the best looking in the BMW lineup IMHO.

I still say it looks like a chick car. Yes, I’m sure any BMW performs decently, but their styling has left a LOT to be desired for a long time now.

On second look, maybe not.

Those rims look like the same style from the ZHP Performance Package that was available starting in 2004.

By: Renton

Renton — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:05:35 +0000

Cool. The regular 335i coupe with regular sport package is pretty sharp already though.

I think what this means is that the upcoming ///M3 is going to be quite a bit more expensive that the E46. I’ll bet it tops out over $70K now. It will also be more hard edged.

I guess the M-sport will split the difference.

The 335i is plenty fast.

eh its cool, i like S-line better

I dont think any owner of an M BMW has any angst towards drivers of 320i’s with the M package. For the people in the know the difference is instantly identifiable. The fact of the matter is BMW makes the majority not on car sales but on accessories. This was told to me by several people who work at BMW HQ Munich. I cant recall exactly but i think the price of accessories added onto new car sales is 16% (on avg) of the base price.

I don’t like how they offer the M-package on non-M cars. It doesn’t make any sense. Owners of real M’s must get pissed when they see a debadged M-packaged 320i fly past them.

With that said, the car is gorgeous, I’d gladly take one, and good job by BMW once again.

I hate the new 3 series but this pack goes a long way toward redeeming it

Nice. But, I actually think the rear is really ugly. But maybe it’ll grow on me.

By: gitcypher

Dammit! I knew that ugly ass front end would start to grow on me.
