The sport package on 2005 BMW 545i, did it include Active Roll Stabilization, or was it a separate option?

The local BMW dealer, told me that my car has Sport Package (code 0ZPS). I am looking at 2005 BMW 5 series brochure and the sport package includes:
- Active Roll Stabilization.
- Sport Suspension Calibration.
- Active Steering with Servotronic Power Assist.
- Shadowline exterior trim.

I can see my car does not have Shadowline , but BMW service rep said no Active Steering or Active Roll Stabilization. He was looking at a quick print out he had of the options in my car. I dont know if he knew that this options were part of Sport package, which he confirmed that my car had. I am confused

I need to find out if my car has this options, because I had the car at an approved BMW body shop, they had to change some rear suspension components (damage from accident), and they did the wheel alignment at an other local store, and not the BMW service center.

If your car has sport package , then you have it...
I don't know if you yourself can tell the difference , but most car guys that have driven various cars can tell right away due to how rigid the car rides and how well it handles. Minimal body roll , a stiff spring rate compared to the ( non sport package ) option.
