Should I bypass the sports package and use the money for the aftermarket rims/tires/suspension?

of course you just answered your own question.

wow, I love when I'm smart

are the sway bars different non-sport vs. sport ?

Not to mention, if you want to sell the stock wheels, the sports will be worth more

only problem with that is that sport package costs $750 not $250

For 2005.5 Sport package was $600.

I don't see how they can charge $3K (or $2750) for the S-Line package. That's just absurd.

on audiusa.com.... sport package is 750

jsamans

Ah, I was looking at the 3.2....it's $600 for 2005.5 3.2

They need to charge more for the suspension upgrade and give it a real sport suspension. My sport suspension 2.0T Avant brand new isn't as buttoned down as my old 323i sport package was at 75000 miles. Good suspensions cost money, you can only go so far in making the springs stiffer before you need to really pony up for quality damping. My wife already mentioned that she thinks it needs new tires, but that's only because she doens't realize that even these all-season (canadian sport package) tires are not the weak link right now.
