2005.5 Sport Package Recognition
I am looking at buying a 2005.5 A4(my first A4 :-) ), and I was hoping it would have the Sports Package. How can I tell if the Sports Package is one of the options on the car? I know it has a stiffer suspension, etc, but outwardly looking at it, how can it tell? Thanks in advance.

Re: 235/45 17 tires. Non-sport had 16s.
Thanks for the response. The tires on the car I am looking at are 17s. Which wheels would I look for, the 5 twin-spoke wheel? Because the one I am looking at has the these wheels:

Could they be ones the previous owner replaced them with?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/2250/exterior2.jpg"></center><p>Here's a photo of my car (2005.5 Sport Package) when it was brand new...you are correct about the wheels. Also the car sits a bit lower as '05.5 Sport Package models had a 30mm drop over stock. If you've a lot of fender gap on an 2005.5 model, it's probably not a sport package car.
HTH.

I've seen 17s on both Sport and non-Sport cars.
And those 5-spoke wheels could have been stock. A lot of B7s had them.
20mm drop is correct for the '05.5. The only other peculiarity of the '05.5 is that Bluetooth was not an option.
Good luck!
