The Msport brakes are NOT standard, they are listed as an option. Interior cosmetics like anthracite headliner is also not part of Msport, it's part of Msport OPTIONAL items.

Msport gets the same sport suspension as is standard on the sport-line.
Msport gets the same brakes as sport line.
The difference is an aero body kit, and some Msport goodies like door sills and foot rests.
Msport gets staggered wheel/tire sizes, by adding 255 rears instead of 225 rears.
Msport gets a different style steering wheel.

That's fine, I like the aero kit, and that's really all it is. I just hope that the package price isn't over $1500 more over sport line, because there is nothing different mechanically to a sport line, other than wider rear tires. Standard Msport wheel/tire size is still 18" with optional 19's.

Sport line in a 335i adds $1700 to the base 3 price.
If Msport adds $2500 to a base 3, it'll be an exceptional offer.
If Msport adds $3000 to a base 3, it's still a good offer for the cosmetics.
Above $3000, it doesn't add anything mechanically to be worth it to me.


i also read from i believe E90Fleet, that the 335 msport will get different brake pads for more bite
