In the US, the "Sport package" was essentially the M sportpaket in other markets, inclusive of the painted aerodynamic kit, M sport steering wheel, M shifter (MT), and M door sills along with the sport suspension and seats.

if is the same with M-sportpaket in Europe - then the suspension is a bit lower and a bit harder. The car has also different size tyres for the front and rear.

But there was two Sport packages for US starting in 2008,
the sport activity, and M-Sport. So I think M-Sport was just
cosmetic

The Sport Activity package was cosmetic (no aero kit, summer tires, or suspension upgrade). The M sportpaket is performance oriented.

The sport suspension does not lower the ride height on the X-series, only stiffens the spring rates and such.
