The black grilles really work well with your black car--I would do the same. Menacing, as you say. But having seen them on a blue 435, I stayed with chrome on my EB 228i and am happy with that choice. Complements the headlight clusters nicely. Performance-wise I'm thrilled--actually slightly faster than my '93 NSX. Had a fun time in the mountains last weekend. Gonna have more once I chip it up--cheers!

You have fog lamps/MSport does not. Minor difference in front and rear fascia shape with separation of exhaust pipes MSport steering wheel design (although same rim thickness, best I can tell) Badging on door sill plate (what am I forgetting....anyone?) I bypassed MSport package too. Sportline with track package is the same dynamic setup and sport seats as an optioned MSport, plus it came in Valencia Orange. Difference in total cost from Sportline to MSport with similar content was about $700. Pass....exterior color was more important than the above. Here's the build: |

MSport Foot rest, MSport Gearshift knob on my three pedal car. Tiny little MSport emblems on the wheels. Apperance only really, whatever floats your boat. Question, does the Sportline front fascia have more groung clearance than the MSport ????My Msport sure scrapes easily

The M Sport gives you shadow line trim around the windows, M Sport steering wheel, aero kit and rear spoiler which you don't get on the Sport line (the M Sport brakes are a wash because both lines have them). However a Sport line WITH track package gives you adaptive suspension and variable steering which I don't believe you get in M Sport unless you also add the track package. You also get to keep the fog lights with Sport line. My thinking was the same as Sportstick's. I wanted Valencia Orange and for some reason which baffles me, you can't get it with M Sport. Why are the colors so limited on the M Sport and, for that matter, the M235i (VERY limited on the M235)? Granted, you can only get the Estoril Blue with M Sport or M235i and that's an awesome color, but in my opinion they eliminated two of the best colors for this car with those two models, Deep Sea Blue and Valencia Orange. While it's purely a matter of opinion, I also think the Sport line wheels are MUCH nicer than the M Sport wheels. I'm actually glad I didn't have to wrestle with this decision very long because the color made the Sport line versus M Sport line decision for me. As for clearance, the track package does lower the car a little bit, but I think it's the aero body kit that causes the M Sport car to be more prone to scraping. Probably the splitter, but I'm just guessing.
