99 C280 (sport or not???)

Hello everyone, I just bought a 1999 C280, but I wanted to know how would I determine if it has the sport package or not? What should I look for? Thanks!

On the fender strip there should be a badge that says SPORT, look for Carbon Fiber Interior, Your car is one tone color...etc

can you be specific on the sport suspension? I always wondered what the benefits of the sport suspension were vs. the non sport.

thx

the sport suspension has solid, larger-diameter front and rear stabilizer bars, reinforced upper front control arms, and firmer shock absorbers.

does anybody have an idea why this is not standard..i'm not a big guy 5' 11" but on long trips most of the time i feel a bit cramp in my 202, because my knees frequently touch the wheel...and the seat is all the way back & down..
