I can't determine if this also includes Adaptive Drive, but it doesn't say anywhere in the press release that it does. Thus, while at first blush it appears that the cost of the M Sport package has gone down from $6,500 to $4,800, it actually has INCREASED from $6,500 to $7,300, and this may not even include Adaptive Drive. This is on top of a base price increase for the 535i of $2,150 (from $50,100 to $52,250).
So glad I got my 2011 535 3 weeks ago.
