? for Ed re: E39 sport package

Or anyone who knows... Ed's the only official BMW dealer guy I know of here so I figured he'd know the official answer.

E39 sport package - what does that come with?

Does a 540 sport have the same (brakes/sway bars/springs/bushings/anything) as the M5?

Is there an engine tune up for the sport package or is it the same as the base model?

Do you get more chicks with the sport package? :)

TIA

No, it does not have the M5 stuff, but it does have sport springs and is lower than the standard suspension. The M5 springs would actually raise a 540 if installed. (Exception: the 2003 540 sports had stiffer suspension than previous years and also had the M bumpers and 18 M wheels.)

No engine differences. Mainly trim package differences which changed over the years but include: sport seats, wheels, shadowline trim, M shifter knob, etc.

All e39 6 speed 540's have the sport package. (97's don't have shadowline trim)

You definitely get more chicks with the sport package:p

Thanks Mike. I'm sure I couldn't leave well enough alone and would want to swap out the suspension anyway... But the bigger brakes would be a nice addition.
