E3 sport package question
I recently took an E500 without the E3 sport package for a test drive. Excluding tire size and cosmetic changes are there any other changes included in the sport package (such as suspension)? Is there a noticeable change to the steering, handling, or the ride quality with the sport package?

Sports Package - E500
In Canada, specifying Sports Package (CDN$2,500) to the E500 adds:
1) Four 17" 5-spoke alloy wheels (8.0J x 17) w/ 245/45 WR 17 high performance tires.
2) Sculpted lower body work w/ slight;y different front bumper fascia.
3) Blue-tinited glass.
4) Black grille with 5 chromed ribs and chromed surround.
5) Bi-xenon low & high beam headlights.
6) Headed headlamp washers.
7) All-LED brake lamps.
8) Ivory-color gauge faces, backlit soft blue at night, with matte chrome instrment cluster surround.
9) Chomed gearshift surround.
10) Black birdseye maple wood interior trim with polished chrome outlining.
Something noteworthy here is that the 5-spoke alloys are narrower than the standard split spoke on the E500 which are 8.5J x 17. Wonder what is the reason for this. Any ideas?
