M Sport Question
I picked up a space grey 2011 X5 50i M Sport about 6 weeks ago. The vehicle only had 17K miles on it, was a CPO, loaded out, and rarely driven so I had to jump on it. Drove 8.5 hours there and back in one day to pick it up.
I noticed when I purchased it that the original window sticker says M Sport Package $6500. When I looked at all of the 2013's on the dealer lots they said M Sport Package $4700. They also did not have the "Sport" button that I have by my shifter. What's the difference between the package on mine and the newer ones? The only thing I could figure out was the dealers that had the $4700 package only contained the cosmetic upgrades. The sticker on mine was $82,375 which seemed higher than the 2013's I looked at. |

Wow!!! $82,375 sticker seems more like the price for the actual X5M...the sticker on my 2011 X5 xDrive50i M Sport was only $75,225.00 and that included the $6500 for the M Sport option.

Yeah I'm not sure. It's loaded with a lot of stuff so maybe that was it. I have a PDF of the sticker. Was really just trying to figure out why the M Sport option is cheaper now and what the difference is.

According to autos.aol.com there is no difference in what was provided in the M Sport package.. It just cost more in 2011.
The Sport button controls your adaptive suspension and that is it. No transmission or engine mods.

That's what I figured. I knew about the Sport button. Just couldn't figure out why some M Sports had it and others did not.

He did say he got a copy of his sticker. But I also wonder as to why some M Sports had a Sport button and other didn't.

Adaptive drive is a standalone option. It is not part of the M Sport package.

Did some research. I have a 2011 X5 M Sport 35i. It looks like the M Sport Package (ZMP) comes with:
2NY 20" Light Alloy Double Spoke (Style 333M) with performance tires 2VA Adaptive Drive 3MA BMW individual roof rails aluminium 508 Park Distance Control 710 M steering wheel 7M5 M exterior parts in body color Price: $4,800 Now let's have a look at the 2013 X5 M Sport 50i: 220 Self-leveling suspension 2M5 19" M Wheels 3MA BMW individual roof rails aluminum 481 Sport seats 760 Shadowline exterior trim 775 Anthracite headliner 7M5 M exterior parts in body color 7XA M Sport leather steering wheel w/ paddle shifters 840 Increased top speed limiter Price: $4,700 The biggest thing missing between 2011 and 2013 (not sure about 2012) is the 2VA option. On the 2013 model that is a stand alone option at a price of $3,500! |

That's why the price must've been higher back then for the M sport package. Now it's all starting to make sense. Yes, I have the option/build sheet as well and it shows the adaptive drive was included with the M Sport package back then.

I was completely misinformed on what the Adaptive Drive did and how it related to the Sport button by my shifter. Guess I'll be driving around some twisties today to test it out!

FWIW, I think the 333M were an additional option on top of the ZMP option. It was an additional $1k per my build sheet.

Check out this site...you can price out a 2011 with all options and packages. It shows what's available, and what's included with what package. Pretty slick actually.
