just thinking..are there any options/specs that only the SE had? or has the sport got all the SE bits and then some?
apart from
suspension
bumpers
steering wheel
was there many more differences?
i have seen sport models without round airbag steering wheels, and some with out the M logo on it.
was there any hard and fast rules or was each car specced differently SE to sport i mean not individual options.
and are there only 3 variants..ie: SE/Sport/M

Sport seats
Different interior trims (Alu trims)
Door sills with M logo
M sport wheels
For the steering wheel, some called sports (without m logo and handles at 10 & 2 o'clock), M sport (M logo with handles) and finally SMG (With paddle shifts behind the wheel)
Some sport models in the US are equiped without the sport steering wheel , but they have M-tec kit with other things like they sell in the UK

There's nowhere in the world a SE model, except for the Uk, of course.
