What is the last seven of your VIN? Put that here: bimmer.work : VIN Decoder for BMW

Answer the human riddle and it will tell you if you have a sport vehicle...

Cheers!!

Ditto...why are we still guessing at this. It was suggested near the top of the thread to do a VIN decode.

Click the link above to one of the VIN decoding sites, enter the last 7 digits of your VIN...then scroll down the option code list and look for option code P330:

  • P330 Sports package ***
  • S255 Sports leather steering wheel
  • S775 Headlining anthracite
  • S226 Sports suspension settings

One cannot tell by the tire/wheel package alone if the vehicle has the sport package or not. Sport tires are bigger, but anybody can put 19s on a car that came with 17s. And, there are multiple styles of wheels in each of the available sizes, so it is inaccurate to state that they are star shaped.

If the car comes with a 255/60x17, and one wishes to mount 19s and have the same foot print and diameter, then a 255/50x19 is the fitment to go for. For each inch of increase in rim diameter, reduce the aspect ratio by 5 if you are keeping the same width. This will give you a tire that has the same overall diameter as the original fitment.

A 255/60x17 gives a tire that is 29.047 inches in overall diameter, a 255/50x19 gives a tire that's 29.039 inches in overall diameter. You can do your own math, 255 x 0.6 = 153 mm (one sidewall from the rim to the tread), 153 x 2 = 306, (add in the sidewall from the rim to the opposite tread), 306 / 25.4 = 12.047 (convert millimeters to inches), and finally, 12.047 + 17 = 29.047 (the diameter of the tire). Change the numbers as is appropriate to reflect reality. Once you find the diameter of the factory fitment, you can add inches to the rims and reduce the aspect ratio as needed. You can also add to the width, 255 becomes 275, for example, and then reduce the aspect ratio again to find a size that gives an overall diameter of the target. Of course, you can go to tirerack.com and use the comparison guide then provide.

(I pulled a random tire size out of my a$$ to illustrate the point, do not take the size as a recommendation, or a suggestion that it is the right size.)

Yes thats the first place I looked. All the images are dead.
And the signals and taillights are one of the first things people change out.

Well Bimmer.work shows that I have the sport package but some here say if I don't have the
sport seats that adjust then mine isn't a sport model. Where it shows options at the bottom everything
else it has listed is correct and the 330 is there too. :cool:

Thanks

Sport Seats was a different option besides the sport package. Sport package just referred to options like the suspension, steering wheel, wheel option, trim option such as clear corners. Not all X that came with the sport package had the sport seats. Mine seat were power for the driver but manual for the passenger. I swap out a set of comfort seats for my Sport Package X because Mrs. Upallnight missed the heated seats that were in our Audi Avant.

Really!? Sport Seats are not included in the Sport Package? That's chaos. I get that sport seats can be an option in a mere mortal of an X5, but the sport package should have the wheels and the seats, along with the springs and such.

CrazyOneToo 07-14-2017 12:17 AM

Yeah that would sound right but its about the cash.
And every option they can add separately is more for the total price.
:driver:
