After learning that the engines are the same between the 28i and the 20i I want to order the 320i with M sport and do the ecu tune saving me about 6k between the two cars. Going on bmwusa it doesn't allow me to choose the "lines" for the m sport just under the packages page the regular sport package? is the m sport not on the 320i?

The M Sport line/package is not available on the 320i. Instead, you can opt for the Sport Package (larger wheels, lower/stiffer suspension, sport seats, M Sport wheel and shift knob). Big difference is the wheel style and the lack of the M Sport's unique body work.

I have a 320i with the sport package and its a great car.

Exactly, I got my 320i with the sports package and it is perfect for me. The wheels are also staggered. The front tires are a 225 and the rear are a 255.

the body panels from the 328 m sport should fit onto the 320i correct? same with wheels?

The difference between the packages to my knowledge is the brakes and suspension being the big changes

[QTC]

The main body panels are the same between the cars. The bumpers and (I think) rockers from the M Sport (which are different) should bolt up to the 320i.

Brakes are the same between the 320i, 328i Sport, and 328i M Sport unless you opt for the M Sport brakes on the latter. Suspension is the same between all three (assuming you're going for a RWD car and not AWD)

Really? I thought the rotors on the 320i were smaller?

Everything I've seen, at least in the US market, indicates that they're the same.

I wish I could have gotten the sport package on mine; wasn't willing to wait after getting hosed on another car I had waited 3 months for and just took what was on the lot.

Maybe next time...

I was under the impression that on the 320i, the Sport Package is the M sport package minus the bodywork....
