easiest visible way is to look at your window trim. if it is chrome, it is standard. if it is black shadowline, it is sport package. hope this helps

My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
Isn't the interior quite a bit different to or no?
My 545's VIN reports "Sport Suspension", but it's not a sport. Strange stuff! Is that all VINs, regardless of package I wonder?

I can't agree to that.
Shadowline can be orderd as an option, BMW SA 339A, without having sport package, BMW SA 226A.
Ask your dealer for an option list

My Ride: '05 545 Titanium Silver, Black Leather - Nav, Logic 7, Cold weather.
Mods:
Carbon filter removed.
M5 iDrive knob.
Umnitza license plate LEDs.
MP3
40% 3M tint
ACS Anti-Roll(sway) bars
RPI Scoop
G-tech Pro RR
CF Roundels
CF Wheel caps
Wheels can be changed, trim can be changed so look for your active roll stabilization (ARS) on the car's anti roll bars. Should look like a big can in the middle of your front and rear roll bars. Don't know of anyone that's taken this off their e60...

From the pictures that you have it looks like you got the sports package unless the guy that owned the car before you lowered it. The sports package is lower in the front then the none sports. How about your steering wheel? Is it three spoke?
