Any 325i's W/O Sport Pkg?

STE92VE · 05-12-2006, 03:41 PM

Hey all...it seems almost everyone is getting their E90's with the sport pkg. I live in the NE and feel that performance tires would require me to swap them with AS in the winter, which is why I've decided not to go the sport pkg route. The 325i with manual performs fine for me so no need to get into a 330i. With that said, there has to be more folks out there with a 325i w/o sport pkg. If there are, would you mind posting your pics? Thanks in advance!

what does Sports pkg got anything to do with snowtires?

Brunotheboxer · 05-12-2006, 05:16 PM

imo, even if you dont get the sports package you may still want to get dedicated winter tires for your car. all seasons might not be good enough in a severe winter if you drive alot.

because when you get the sports pkg you get summer, high performance tires. without the sports pkg, you get all season tires. at least this is how the 330i is and i'm pretty sure also on the 325.

ic....I must of misread somewhere on this post

I think there's alot of 325 members w/o zsp here....check the wheel section where all of them put on M5 wheels

PM Marcus. He has a non-sport 325i, but you would not be able to guess that since he's changed practically everything "non-sport," but the seats.

SocalTy · 05-12-2006, 08:23 PM

I have non-sports right now, although that will change tomorrow

but I know when I go back to NY I will definitely get a set of winter tires. Those winters there are brutal and those all weather tires aren't going to cut it.

STE92VE · 05-12-2006, 08:32 PM

I figure I won't need winter tires cause if it snows, I usually don't have to drive while it's coming down. Even after the big snow storms, the roads are plowed within a day and the all seasons should be adequate.

ase2dais · 05-12-2006, 08:38 PM

Sports Package for those who dont know comes with performance tires that doesnt fair well in cold weather, unlike nzsp that comes withall-seasons.

Got NZSp 325i w/ Pilots Sports on 161s for summer and Pilots Alpin on 159s for winters, works for me. I love the sense of security having winter performance tires, had one day last winter I really used it. I have it on thkgivg thru easter break, and used one of them as a spar in the trunk.

325 Baller · 05-12-2006, 08:40 PM

I dont have sport package, i wish i would've gotten it but didnt know about it when i got my car

ase2dais · 05-12-2006, 08:42 PM

the only thing I like in SP are the seats and the steering wheel, but boy! I felt all those bumps, thats why i opted not to get them, then.
well things change having a BM, and seems like I'll be playing with my suspension a little, just bcoz its something to do!

LEDZEP · 05-12-2006, 09:16 PM

I have two 325's without the sports package. I love the seats and the thicker steering wheel, but I've had cars with the sports package before and the summer tires are just impractical. I have no regrets, but I won't say I'd never consider SP again... I just didn't want the hassle of those damned tires, which BTW will last you about 17,000 miles if you're lucky!

One alternative to consider is an xi with SP - you get all seasons and the car is not lowered.

zzinco79 · 05-12-2006, 09:25 PM

I live in Rochester, NY which is the area that has shit load of snow

in every winter.

My car has sports pkg with all season tires on and I had no problems

with it.

You need sports pkg becuz it is soooooooooooo sweet~~

dcwld · 05-12-2006, 09:27 PM

Smooth ride without the bumps.... Loos like a sport E90 but doesn't drive like one....

Did you have the dealer switch out the performance tires with all seasons or did you do that on your own?
