Question M- Sport vs DHC

My understanding is that the M-Sport package and the Dynamic Handling Package have the same suspension, steering, braking and so on. Another way of saying this is that the only differences between a US spec 550 F10 with DHP and a US spec 550 with the M sport package are cosmetic. Has anybody heard different?

If by DHC you mean the Dynamic Handling Package (ZDH), then yes.

The US MSports package for the 550i includes:

M Sport Package
223 Electronic Damping Control
229 Active Roll Stabilization (ARS)
2ND 19" Light alloy Double-spoke wheels style 351M-with performance run-flat tires
(19x8.5, 245/40 R19 front and 19x9.0, 275/35 R19 rear)
2VA Adaptive Drive
456 Multi-contour seats
4MR Aluminum Hexagon interior trim
or 4B5 Light wood trim
or 4B9 Aluminium Trim
or 4CE Anthracite Wood Trim
710 M steering wheel
715 Aerodynamic kit
760 Shadowline exterior trim
775 Anthracite headliner
840 Increased top speed limiter

Note that this is different than some of the European packages.

I can just add that in Europe, and maybe some other markets, the M sport package comes with M sport suspension and the car is lowered by 10 mm. The M sport suspension can be replaced with the dynamic drive as an option and then there is no lowering.

It would be fabulous if someone in Europe did a comparison of the Dynamic Handling package and the M-Sport Suspension. That would be extremely helpful.
