I asked the same question in another forum and a Benz tech replied that the parts are the same; it's only a change in the ABC setting that only Benz and others like Brabus can do ...

This is the answer I got from the MB tech when I asked him about the difference between a SL63 with and without 030 pkg:

"It is just programming, but only AMG, Kleeman, Brabus, or companies like that can reprogram it. More than likely Kleeman or Brabus can make a module for you, or have one that has the AMG settings."

I know it's a long way off, but if you bought it with the sports pack how will it affect the ease of selling it on.
Just remember it may appeal to you, but not to many others!
