True, but that wasn't my point. If it was between two Volvos, the T5 is the better choice

Is it worth it?

I personally think it is worth every penny. I would not get any BMW without M sport, i think they are very boring looking without it and some of them are actually pretty ugly.

Other than the sports seat you mentioned, the front/rear bumper, M sport steering wheel and M sport wheels > $3,000.

Are you thinking about getting the 35 or the 28? Because unless you are getting a base 28, otherwise, the price is very similar when you start adding options on the 28. 35 has way more standard features (Memory seat, sunroof, HID and etc)

Naw, it'd be a 2014. There are a few around. Decent incentives out there too.


They are actually building 2015 M Sports based on the message board feedback. Just not live on BMWUSA.com

Asked my dealer to locate all the M Sports and give me a list based on desired configs. I'm interested to see what comes back. I did some of the searching myself yesterday, dealer by dealer, before my wife and kids woke up. It was a royal pain in the ass.

I'm a regular over at Audizine as well. I know how the reliability is for +B8. It's great.

It had a lot of problems for previous generations. That's not a news.
2008, so the gen before. I have heard the reliability for the latest models is fantastic, but my wife won't hear of it, I'm afraid.
