Default Is this 318ti a Sport?

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?&d...&color=#vdptop

Does that picture look like the Sport package? I know 1995 Sports had the same 15" wheels as the active but the front bumper looks different. Also what did 1995 Sports have over the Active?

Oh and one more thing, is that $6995 price good for that year/trim/mileage?

Thanks,

Mark

From the exterior it looks like a sports package. It's got the m-tech front bumper/sideskirts and has the sport trim on it. So going by that pic i'd say it's a sport but am wondering why it doesn't have the 16 inch tires on it.

But everthing i said above can be added so i can't give a definet answer.

It looks like an active with the bumper changed.

It could be a sport (Club Sport would have M3 mirrors), but it should have different door mouldings. Don't know if the sideskirts were M package that year.

Probably an Active since it has cruise and those wheels.
Previous owner installed the M3 bumper.

Can't be a Club Sport since it's white. Plus no ///M3 mirrors.

I have a sport and it came with cruise control.

However, the car in this ad's wheels are definitely active style/size, so most likely just upgraded the front bumper. The side moulding are definitely not sport mouldings. Lastly, looks like he didn't put in some fog lights to match up with the M-bumper, meaning it probably didn't have them before...

As an option. Cruise was standard on the Active.
