Sport package vs premium package on E38
Especially related to a US-spec 99 528it. What does the sport package add, besides sports seats? Suspension bits? Does the premium package add different seats? How do they compare to the ones in the sport pkg? Thanks! -- Ignasi. '90 325is (using SPAM trap e-mail address) |

The ride is considerably firmer, and on some years it includes the sport seats (also firmer than the comfort seats) with the adjustable knee bolster. It may also (again, year dependent) include the M series 3 spoke steering wheel (which means it can't be a heated steering wheel - the M wheels didn't offer this..) The premium package depends on the year - BMW adds things to it as the model ages. It usually includes things like the heated seats, premium wood, leather interior, etc - things that pretty much are standard on any BMW imported to the USA. I doubt if you can find a 5 series in the US without it. Later premium packages included automatic headlights/wipers and a few other goodies I don't recall offhand. BTW - a '99 528it (touring=wagon) is an E39 series, not an E38. E38 was the previous 7 series, a quite different beast. HTH |
