SI SE OR SI SPORT WHICH IS IT?

Looking at a coupe in a few days but a bit confused. When checking insurance it comes up as a Si SE but here’s the spec sheet which shows all the sport options and 108 from order which were only available on the sport.
V5c just shows Si Coupe.
So is it a sport and if so should dvla change data and v5 to reflect sport?
Thanks

All the facelift 3 litre cars sold in the UK were 3.0Si - that just relates to the engine spec. I think there may have been 3.0i facelifts in other markets. So "Si Coupe" on the V5C is correct.

SE or Sport were just trim levels so I doubt it matters if that doesn't appear on the V5C, although both of mine did show Z4 SI SPORT on their V5Cs.

As the car seems to have all the M-Sport bits (including the Anthracite headlining) I'd be amazed if it wasn't a Sport model. Insurers data doesn't always seem to be correct IME.
 
Cheers for reply. My main concerns were insurance value as all the sport bits would be classed as optional extras instead of it being a sport and future value as the sport is more desirable.
It’s a low mileage, low owner example so not a cheap one!
 
I can see why you want to be sure in the circumstances although I'm not sure how you can get a definitive answer as I think all the M-Sport bits were available on the SE models.

Having said that I'd personally expect to pay the same for an SE with all of them fitted as for a Sport.
 
I think if it’s a clean one then I’ll go for it.
Out of interest who do folk use for hpi checks or are they all much the same?
 
I have used www.hpicheck.com twice recently. £9.99 for a basic check but paying more for a more comprehensive check doesn't give you much more than you can find free online anyway.
They all seem to be the same at very similar prices TBH. End of the day the HPI information will be the same whoever you pay to get it for you.
 
As Pondrew says I think they are all pretty much the same as the info. comes from the same database.
 
My si se had those sport options from new, they weren’t just available on the sport model as you say :thumbsup:

The one decider I think is the 108 alloys we’re only available as an option on the sport and are on the spec sheet.

My SE also got build-specced with 108's though... :lol:
Coupe and Roadster may be different in terms of build options though.
