M-Sport vs. Sport

drew4392 · 12-07-2011, 08:57 PM

Currently own a 2007 335i E90, and looking to get a new 335i. I'm debating between a sedan with either Sport or M-Sport.

I like the cosmetic offerings of the M-Sport package, but is there a difference in suspension??

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!!

Same suspension - no difference

In North America, the msport suspension is same as the sport suspension.

Euro specs are different? How?

I thought he said they are the same?

I'm assuming samchoi is saying they are not the same on Euro spec.....

I think Euro has a lower spring compression rate for some odd reason

NoMods · 12-08-2011, 12:55 PM

does one ride lower or same too?

OP: why not wait and get an F30?

Yes, the early Euro (and possibly Asia) msport used to get a slightly lower ride. Not sure now.

The early euro msport did not have a lower ride; it had zsp springs, taller and stiffer bumpstops, stiffer dampers and a 14mm rear sway..
