I have the sport package. It includes 17" wheels with 235/45 tires, "M" logo on shifter and "M" logo 3 spoke steering wheel (instead of the normal 4 spoke wheel) and a stiffer/lower suspension. Also, it will have shadowline trim (black window moldings on the doors instead of the chrome ones)
FYI, the Sport SEATS are seperate from the Sport Package. Some think that because they have the sport seats that they have the sport package but they are not a part of the package itself. (sport seats are the ones that have the adjustable lower thigh support)

Mine IS a 1999. See the chrome trim around the windows on the one in your picture? Not a sport. 16 in wheels and the ride height? Not a sport. Black is my favorite color though. I almost bought a car identical to that one but this car was better equipped at a better price.
The dealer I bought from tried to claim mine also had the Luxuary package because it has the DSP radio and the power rear sunshade (but it does not have the lux package)
