I thought the M-package was available for the Aussie market a long long time ago, if they have only just released it now, it just shows you how pathetically slow and behind we are from the rest of the world.

The previous package was just a sports package and not an M sports with the colour coded bumpers, M logos etc. as far as I know.

Yeah, that is correct, but I thought the M sport package was available long ago, what is taking them so long to get it to Australia.

Here are more news from carpoint.com.au

BMW has devised an M Sport option pack for the X5. It's the first time since the X5 went on sale in Australia that such a pack has been available to consumers.

Buyers can specify the M Sport pack for any X5 variant, but the nature of the option -- and its price -- varies with different variants, although all vehicles will be identifiable by the same aerodynamic body kit that forms part of the package.

The kit comprises body-colour bumpers, side skirts, colour-coordinated side protection strips and wider wheel arches. Satin-finish aluminium window surrounds and high-gloss satin chrome roof rails are other visual cues.

BMW offers the M Sport Package for the X5 in the following colours: Alpine White, Titanium Silver metallic, Space Grey metallic, Monaco Blue metallic, Black Sapphire metallic and Carbon Black metallic.

Under the wheel arches, the X5 rides on 19-inch alloy wheels and a sports suspension set-up comprising firmer dampers and springs, although this suspension is not included if the Adaptive Drive system is specified.

Wrapped around the 19-inch alloys, the tyres measure 255/50 R19 at the front and 285/45 R19 at the rear. Lower-profile rubber and 20-inch alloys are available as a further optional upgrade with the pack.

Electrically-adjustable front seats include a memory function for the driver's. An M-design leather-bound steering wheel is complemented by brushed-aluminium decorative trim and an anthracite headlining.

Pricing of the M Sport package for the X5 ranges from $5400 for the X5 xDrive48i to $11,000 for the X5 xDrive30i/d variants ($8000 for the same variants trimmed to 'Executive' level). The 20-inch wheel option costs a further $2648 and all-up costs are reduced by $635 for those vehicles also fitted with Adaptive Drive.
