sport package w/all wheel drive

Is there any reason not to get all wheel drive w/sport package?

It is. I think US dealers are taking orders for them already, scheduled for September production.

sjlevitas,

I ,too, am interested in the 325xi with sport pack. One thing to take note of is that when ordering the SP on the xi, you DO NOT get the sport suspension or the staggered high performance tires. The xi has a unique suspension setup (with higher ride height, I assume) and the same size tires at all four corners. Can't say that I'm crazy about this, but what can you do.......

The way I understand it, is that you basically get the sport seats and sport steering wheel, and thats it. Take a look at the U.S. E90 OWNERS MANUAL / PRODUCT INFO BOOKLET under the "downloads for registered members" forum. It has pretty detailed info about the various options available on the standard e90 vs the AWD model.

Is there a difference in the fuel economy between a regular i and Xi

You can order the bigger staggered tires as a separate option with the xi Sport Package though.

Yes, I recall reading that. Is that what you did with your 330xi? If so, what was the charge for the optional High Performance wheel/tire package?
