E91 Wagon Sport Suspension

mike800d · 11-20-2005, 09:48 AM

I must be getting old and am thinking about the E91 as my next car instead of a (nother) coupe. I like the way it looks better than the sedan and the flexibility of the wagon seems like a big plus.

I take it the 325xiT sports package does NOT include the suspension upgrade that the 325i would get. Anyone have any insight as to the difference in feel/performance?

Any idea whether the upcoming non-AWD 325iT will include the suspension upgrade in the sports pack?

Thanks.

I'm not sure, and don't have it... but the SP should also include some degree of suspension upgrade. Probably the same as an xi sedan would get.

Why wont they have a 330xiT? Is there a reason behind it?

Dealer told me ZERO suspension change for the std. versus sport package. ZSP on the E91 gives you the bolstered seats, larger wheels, and upgraded steering wheel. That's it. I believe the ZSP on the touring runs $1200.00 MSRP. You need to kick in another $300.00 MSRP if you want the E90 ZSP 17" wheels.

That's the case for all the xi models I believe.

"Normal" non-xi E91 do get a sports suspension.

No xi models get a sport suspension

That makes sense, as I believe the sports suspension is a bit lower. That would be contrary to one of the reasons for wanting an x drive car. All the traction in the world is no good once the snow is up to your undercarriage.
