04 s500 4matic "sport"

can anyone help me identify the features that comprise the "sport" designation? i've been looking for 1 of these rarities for a while now, and have come across an 04 4matic with aftermarket amg wheels but not a true sport. i'm trying to figure out if i'd be missing much by going with this car and no longer searching for a needle in a haystack.
thanks in advance for any help.

If you drive in snow - even light snow - or in very heavy rain - get the 4-Matic and to heck with the "looks."

Front/Rear bumpers along with sill covers are the other parts of the AMG Sport package.

Cool. Didn't know they had 4Matic with the Sport Package.

EDIT: Dang! Nevermind. Looks like you're trying to make the 4Matic look like a Sport.

04 s500 4matic "sport"

asianml

it is actually an s500 4 matic with a "321" sport package. very rare, but there are a few out there.

tried a 4 matic sport "lookalike" last week but there was way too much road noise from the larger tires on the big amg's.

guess i'll continue the hunt.
