I'm having the damndest time figuring out which package my car is...
It misses stuff associated with the Active package, but has stuff that isn't on the Base...

Anyway, maybe you guys can help me out, it is:

-'95, SchwartzII (black) w/grey sideskirts/bumpers
-Has "leatherette" (I think that's what it's called) interior, leather wheel/shift knob
-15" alloys
-"sport" seats, dunno if that's what you still call 'em, but they're just like the "sport" seats in my e30. Lots of adjustments, thigh support.
-power sunroof

What it doesn't have:

-cruise control
-obc
-alarm or keyless entry
-///M kit, although the dealer swears it does when they run my vin... :rolleyes:

Thanks for any help you guys can offer...I would like to upgrade to a "sport" rear sway bar...but I want to make sure my car isn't a sport.

...I would like to upgrade to a "sport" rear sway bar...but I want to make sure my car isn't a sport.

That's easy...measure it! I think a sport rear sway is 15mm (base is 2mm less in back). It's pretty easy to spot especially in back. This is best done with a caliper/micrometer of some sort but you could use an adjustable wrench and then compare to a ruler. A mm= .039"

Any idea of how many owners the car has had? Maybe you can track down the original and just ask. Or find the dealership that sold it new. They probably have some record of import, order or sale. But you gotta make friends first- my dealership parts guy didn't give 2 sh!ts until I started asking detailed questions and acting like I knew something. Good luck.
