Hi Everyone...Happy New Year. I'm looking to buy a used 2011/2012 550i and am wondering if the M Sport is worth it or will I be content with the sports package. I love the look with the M Sports, but they are hard to come by with all the options I want and harder in the color I want.
I have to agree. I would not have gotten a 550 without the m package and would not get a 650 without it either. The appearance is the obvious reason because the none m package models, IMO, look like a catfish. I could not get past that image. The double clutch sports transmission is another reason. And the optional "woven" aluminum trim was another thing that I liked. Again, it's all about personal preferences. In the end they are all great cars
However, it depends on what you want out of the car. I found that M Sport cars were SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive on the Used Market than equal mileage non M Sport cars (equal model ranges). In some cases well over $10 as there just isn't enough of them on sale (a good thing for those who have it).
And for '13 I've come to find out you now get a dedicated "M Steel Suspension". I could have sworn my '13 feels tighter and sportier than the '12 M Sport I drove last year, now seemingly due to that since I've come to find it out.... but would really love to drive all 3 535i M Sport years back to back to see what's what.
