E92 335 w/ sport? why?

kevinz · 06-21-2007, 10:32 AM

Ive been reading around and most people are saying that sport package is a MUST? I personally don't understand why the sport package is a must. All there is to it are sport seats(adjustable width) and 18" rims. Thats it. I live in Canada so its 2 grand for the sport package.

Is there anything I'm missing about the goods of the sport package?

Thanks guys.

that 10-way adjustable seat including lumbar support is excellent, especially if you drive MT and you have to sit-up straight while extending your left foot for the clutch...

kpcoupe · 06-21-2007, 10:36 AM

I think its worth a 1000, but 2000 idk...., i didn't get it because you can't drive the car in the rain, snow, or winter in general, so imissed out o nthe seats and wheels, but they are still nice i guess.

all seasons vs summer tires
130 vs 150 top speed

ppp

kevinz · 06-21-2007, 10:38 AM

would the all season tires vs summer tires affect the 0-60mph time?

rpiopio · 06-21-2007, 10:38 AM

Considering how many people enjoy mods, 2000 for larger rims AND sport seats and steering wheel and 15mm drop is a bargain.

I regret not getting the sport package especially since it cost me $1700 just to upgrade to 162's.

kevinz · 06-21-2007, 10:40 AM

I'm ordering in Canada, I guess they didn't tell me or specify about the sport steering wheel and 15mm drop. Or maybe they don't have that option.

Isnt the drop just for the E90? I thought all coupes had the drop.

trust me, get the SP, it will give you an excuse not to MOD...

If not, at least you will delay them until you bent those 162's...

all e92s except the xi's get the drop standard.

kevinz · 06-21-2007, 10:47 AM

162 rims are pretty ugly in my opinion, I actually prefer the 17"

zimbim · 06-21-2007, 10:58 AM

I love the sport package, but if you don't , it's your car, get what you want!!!!

The seat and the wheels are EASILY worth 2 grand. Get it and you wont regret it.

You cant drive the car in the rain? Where did you here this Bullshit nonsense? I drive mine in the rain and light snow and I never had a problem.

Hound Passer · 06-21-2007, 11:04 AM

I've got an e93, but I thing its a must for 1) the seats and 2) the tighter suspension, 3) the bigger wheels. I could do w/o the run flats but that's the compromise you make. I would consider a BMW w/o premium, but I'd never buy one w/o sport.

The seats are worth it. You WILL slide all over the standard seats if you enjoy spirited driving.

FotiosF90M5 · 06-21-2007, 11:16 AM

I wouldnt be happy with such a powerful car governed at 130.

unless you're tracking it, who cares? People complain about the limit all the time, but if you're going this fast on a public road, you're an idiot.

and if you're tracking it, you SHOULD have the SP, no question.

u don't need the SP to get the sports steering wheel on the 335 in canada.

kevinz · 06-21-2007, 12:03 PM

I guess it comes standard in Canada?
