Holy! They actually did, so is there going to be a memo sent out or anything for the people who got the first LCIs? Is it set in stone we will be getting the same thing just added on by dealership at no cost?

No it looks like that was updated very recently. Within a week or so I'd say.

My main question is does ANYONE actually know for a fact what is included in the "M Sport Suspension" ? Is it just springs on stock struts?

If there is more to it like different struts, springs, swaybars etc. then I will probably make a big stink about it. I just got off the phone with my SA and he said the website update is brand new to him, and he has not received any sort of memo about this.

Different springs, struts and front sway bar. Not sure if there are any changes in DME programming. You can go to realoem.com and compare the parts for 2013 MSport vs. 2014 MSport (the real MSport suspension, not the standard).

Different springs, shocks, struts, swaybar/s.

Interesting, never seen that mentioned. Basically the M suspension is clearly a pretty comprehensive change, down to even those details.

So I wonder if they will announce anything sometime in the near future for those who bought the car Pre-704 builds?


I really hope so, but that seems like an awful lot to change and retrofit.

Thats awesome! This will pay for half of the CF mirror covers. It does seem a bit low on $$$ but I guess it is better than nothing. Who sent you that and why? Will be showing my SA this.

This was sent to all Dealers on Friday. The $390 is for future sales of 2014 M Sports that were built prior to September (actually mid-August).

packages are like pointless to most of NA buyers but we get almost every single bit as an extra option that it hurts more than you guys could think of in financial terms. you guys get quite well value for money on those packages although as i mentioned above some of them aren't needed
