have a regular steering wheel? are there any other tell tale signs? 2004 330 sedan...............i swear the car is lowered or something, ill take some pics when the driveway dries out :shifty

Yes and no.
You might have aftermarket suspension that is lower than the normal stock suspension.

Also, if you're on an incline with the parking brake on, the uphill end will be a little lower than usual.

Mine sits pretty low too, for a stock non-sport suspension.

didn't everything in 04 come with sport suspension?

All coupes, I think.

well it was bought off a lease by the guy i bought it from so, i doubt it has any aftemarket work, plus i think a woman owned it, found some workout crap in compartment in trunk.............

well its not zhp, i didnt think it was really, i dont have double spoke wheels, or a standard , or 6800 rl tach...........................possibly sport tho

i guess its just a plain old suspension..............nice tho http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/BMW-330/index2004.htm

The dealer will check the vin# for you so you can see any packages..

if it has sport with a different wheel it should still have sport seats and 17" M Rims

it does have 17" rims but i think they were stock, how is a sport seat diff?

Yeah, 17" wheels are stock. I have 17s, but not the sport package.

i just read on e46fanatics, all 330 sedans with a 04/2001 build date or newer have sport suspension...

is that right? but no steering wheel or any other way to tell?

is that right? but no steering wheel or any other way to tell?

thats all i've ever heard in the past as well. sport package is more than just the suspension, the suspension was made standard after a while, probably cutting costs, much cheaper to only produce 1 suspension for the 3's

can ya link me to this e46fan post? if not dont worry

From bimmerfest (I assume it's similar):

"Q: The sport package has a stiffer suspension. Does this make the ride harsh? (Note: Coupes and 330i's (now) come standard with sport suspension)
A: The suspension is stiff, but the balance between ride comfort and stiffness is perfect. The sport seats are also very comfortable. I have never seen a post on bimmer.org where someone regretted getting the sport package (although there have been many that wish they had!)."

Best post in this thread - no guesswork or relying on Internet (mis)information required. BMW NA can also tell you the factory options.

There should be ride height measurements in the Bentley manual. Check your car's ride height against those numbers to see if you have the sport suspension.
