welcome. aside from the wheels, with sport package you should have a black shadowline trim around the windows instead of chrome trim on the standard models. also, sport package e60s are lower than the standards by 0.7". here's a recent thread with more info about sport package: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...l=sport+package . hope this helps some. enjoy the forums.

welcome and congrats on your E60.

Quick suggetsions to know a sport.

M Sport Steering wheel
M Door kick plates
Sport seats
No chrome around door sills
M SPort BodyKit.

these are just a few obvious differences, send us some pics of the car and we can certainly tell by looking at it

Anyhow have fun on the forums

E60Bemmer - These options are not standard on US Spec Sport models. Just an FYI.

The way to really tell right off the bat if you have a sport model or not is to see if you have Shadowline Trim or Chrome Trim around the windows. If you have Shadowline (Black) Trim around the windows, you most likely have a Sport model. If it's chrome, you do not. However, if the previous owner changed that out during ownership, check the seats. With the Sport Package, you get the Sport seats which have the thigh extender. The regular, non-sport models, do not have this feature.

Welcome to the forum and post some pix when you can.

My Ride: 2004 530i Sport package, Premium package, Xenon 2002 BMW X5 3.0 Modded to X5 4.6is (4.6is body kits, exhaust) Premium pkg., cold weather pkg. rear climate pkg., Xenon headlights, clear all around.

if you live in the U.S here the most visible things you can confirm that your car (2004) is sport package eqipped:

sport wheels 18" (7 fat spokes)
sport seats (thigh support extension)
black trims around windows (no chrome)
and active steering module located under the hood next to the passenger headlight unit
the car looks very low

check the picture on this post, you will see what the active steering module looks like.
