C 280 sport

I am fairly new to Mercedes, haven owned and driven quite a few BMWs. I am looking to pick up a '99 or '00 c 280 sport. What makes the sport a sport? Just wheels, seats and suspension, like BMW? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I believe the powerplant is the same as a regular C 280 and the suspension is more sporty, plus more exterior and interior options. That's about it.

Yeah davis is right... In the sport models you get, sport wheels, carbon fiber dash, upper door sills are in carbon fiber too, sport suspension, ivory white gauges, shift knob that says SPORT on it, and some have the 2-tone leather(blk/gry)(also if you get the ones with 2-tone leather the steering wheel is 2-tone too). I'll try to post some pics. up for you.
