2008 M5 Question

Was there a "sport package" offered on the 2008 M5? There doesn't seem to be one on the BMW configurator online for the 2009 model. But I've seen some cars on Autotrader.com described as having the "sport package".

Thanks.

There's no sport package offered on a M5, its already pretty sporty in regular trim. Maybe what you saw were 535/550i's with the Msport package, which was a 'M5 look' body kit. People are always BS'n what they have on autotrader any way.

How tall are you guys? I'm 6'5" and when I rode in an M5 my knees were about 1" away from the dash... It was pretty disappointing.

If you have trouble in an M5, then how do you fit in your cars? I'm 6'2" and have no trouble, I've got long legs too.
