Upon looking at the TI Companion I came to the conclusion that mine must be an active package... I left out the following features in my last post:

15" alloy wheels, leather steering wheel and shift knob, on-board computer, remote keyless entry system and alarm, one-touch windows

But the active still doesn't explain the heated seats... it's so confusing

Is my 98 318 TI A Sport if it doesn't have crusise control, but everything else, with normal leather seats it has the trim on the outdside.

I am in the Uk and the specs maybe different to the US.Dont think mine is a sport I think it is a 318Ti with sport package.Its a 97 or 98 not sure :ashamed:.Colour is Montreal Blue

Mtec sports seats
Mtec suspension
Sports steering wheel
AC & elec sunroof
Body coloured bumpers & skirts
Foglights
Centre armrest
Rear headrests
Wheels are alloys and original BMW fitment for year,hard to describe not 5 spoke but rather like minilites.
Checked all this with BMW who advised all of these as optional extra`s.

I've got a Club Sport...
 

...I think.

Mtec wheel & gearstick (plus the colour coded bumpers & skirts), 16" BMW Style 42 alloys, ABS, aircon, cd-changer, ASC. And it's Sienna Red.

Bzzzzz. Not in Sienna Red. Club Sports are only Jet Black or Bright Red.

Oh wait, I stand corrected, I thought we were talking US. I don't believe the UK had a Club Sport. They did have some other models that the US did not have.

I think the rear headrests mean it's more likely to be a 98 with the rear headrests... Also, I fail to see the distinction you are trying to make between Sport/Sport Package, it's the same thing.

I'm pretty sure I have a base it's a 1996 and it's Alpine white it's got asc, cruise, upgraded sound (my friend told me that) it has a factory cd changer & moonroof. It does not have fog lights and I have no idea what size rims or wheels or whatever I have...I'm such a girl. But there is a pic of my car in my sig.

That's an Active. ;)

well shut the hell up! I just love it to pieces. I want to get fog lights and a spoiler but other than that, I really just like it the way that it is.

An Active is a step up from the base model.
Actives had cruise, alarm and your wheels standard.
The base had steel wheels with hubcaps.

Ooh yeah I forgot it has the alarm and keyless entry. I have had it for 3 years, and it only had one owner before me, and I guess he was an older man. I only know that because it still gets serviced at the original BMW dealership where it was bought new. But it's such a great car!

I think I might have a sport. You let me know
I have:
-sunroof
-foglights
-cruise control
-cloth seats
-16 inch rims (10 spoke if that matters)

Im new to this car and am the second owner and would like to know as much as possible about these cars.

If your car is 96-99 and has the wide M-Technic moulding on the side, it is most likely a Sport. Foglights were standard but cruise was optional. The Sport had 5 spoke wheels though.

you need a selection for california package in the poll :)

I had a California Roof until I wrecked it. :(
I miss it. Someday I'll pick up another one.
