BM WORLD 1258 Report post Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) you talking e39 2000ish years msport models have the metc body kit , black hood linning , sport seats , sports steering wheel , black side moldings , msport suspension 17" or 18" msport staggered alloys etc clear corner lights etc worth having , resale is always better on msport cars msport like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1396276716.htm 540i , "a" means auto "se" means special equipment se should look like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1393024269.htm Edited August 26, 2017 by BM WORLD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano1968 34 Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks Brent. That seems clear but what about this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1398782927.htm It's advertised as an "ase" but seems to have everything an m-sport should have. I'm currently looking at an "ase" that is fitted with the m-sport steering wheel and suspension. Would this equipment be part of the special equipment package? I am trying to figure out whether the additional money being asked of an m-sport is worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
