EDC and ARS should really be part of the Sport Package. I couldn't care less about the Adaptive Drive.

Enigma is right so far as the U.S. is concerned.

The non-cosmetic things that actually matter on the 550i are contained in the Dynamic Handling Package:

Of course, since you can't get ZDH without ZSP, Delvek is also right in that the lack of style 332 wheels which look like this:
tells you that this particular 550i does not have the Dynamic Handling Package or any of the included options since none of the ZDH options are available separately.
Conclusion: Motor Trend drove an F10 with none of the new suspension technology that promises to make the car a World Beater and you may safely disregard anything they said about the handling if, like me, you are going with ZDH.
I feel better now.
