As others have said, you definitely have an active package (which included the OBC, cruise control and the option for leather seats). In 1995, however, you could also order the sport package ALONG WITH the active package. In 1995 only, the sport package included the addition of LSD and suspension upgrades, but no exterior differences (i.e. no M-Technic treatments) and no sport seats. The side skirts on your car were only introduced with the club sport in 1995, and were standard on all 1996+ sport models with M-Technic aero parts, so these must have been added to your car somtime after the fact--probably to cover up the ugly gray primer lower panels that were standard on all 1995 318ti's.

The only way to tell for sure is to pull the build sheet, but I am thinking you have an ultra rare active AND sport 318ti. Don't get too excited, though...the rarity does not add anything to the value of the car, it just makes it an easier car to live with every day
