how can someone tell if they have sport or regular seats?

sport seats have a more voluptuous shape. the seat bottom isn't flat and the headrests are more triangular than round

Sport seats have the little bolster at the front under your thighs. It can be pulled out for more/less seat room.

Oh also, correct me if I am wrong, but arent the sport seats more firm than the regular ones?

Here are some pics of the seats:

Key distinguishing feature is that you can extend the front of seat for more thigh support. Very helpful in long drives. Notice the handle at the front bottom in pics posted by 2002Silver4.6is.

On a somewhat related note-I refuse to own a BMW without sport seats. To me they are just so much better than the standard seats. Recently when I was still searching for an X5, if an '00-'01 model did have the sport seat option it was instantly discarded as a choice. Luckily I found an '02 so the sport seats are standard with the sport package!

Let me know if you are interested. The seats are for sale. The price is $2,999 for the two front seats and $1,490 for the back seat. I will entertain any offers. If no one buys the entire back seat I will consider parting them out. I will post them in the for sale section for a little while then put them on Ebay.
