Welcome !
Everything that makes a Sport a Sport was available as options on an SE. Run your VIN through a decoder (or post it here) to check it's original spec.

I thought that was strange, but looking back the sites I've used don't specify whether the car is a Sport or not. :?

But I think it must be - who would buy an SE and then opt to pay extra for M-Sport suspension, M-Sport seats, M leather steering wheel and Headlining anthracite? And 108 wheels were an option even on Sport models! With all those bits on I'd regard it as a Sport, whatever any paperwork says! :thumbsup:
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
Gone - Montego Blue
Gone - Ruby Black

Agreed. When I put the plate to get an online quote for BMW warranty it came up as BMW Z4 3.0SI SPORT COUPE N52 3.0. I don't really mind anyway, it's great fun to drive!
