Personally, I used the price difference plus a couple hundred to get the Navigation. Since the sport pack gives me the seats, I was good and used the extra money for other items I would find more useful. But to each their own.
My point is simply if the "small extra" is the cost of an entire other package, it ain't small.

Wow, looks like I hit a nerve by saying the difference is minimal, sorry guys. I still don't think $1700 is that big of a price to have a car that handles and also looks the way I want it to.
Mr_Milo, if you have an E92, you pretty much spent $1300 just for the seats you wanted. It makes me spending $1700 for things I would have changed anyway look even better to me. I hate the E92 LCI bumpers, they'd have to go, and the sills would have to go too. That would have eaten up most of the $1700 there and closes the gap even more for me.

I personally would (and do) make a point by explicitly avoiding M-Sport package on a non-M car.
BTW, the price difference between Sport and M-Sport is not "minimal". If memory serves, M-Sport was not 2x more expensive, but almost 2x more expensive.

AndreyT, do you mean to tell me that all of the cosmetic changes that people do around here are insulting to you? When people get new rims, or M-tech bumpers, or splitters,clear side markers or change their interior trim, shifters, pedals, it's insulting to most driving oriented car owners? Seriously.
That all being said, I really do wish they had a different name other than "M" sport with the little M's all over everything on a non "M" car, so I think we have common ground there.
