540 with M// steering wheel?

Just wanted to confirm - I was shopping for cars and came across a 2001 540i with an M steering wheel. The car did not have sport seats, but did have 18s all around - still a sports package?

The Sports Package was an option on all 5er models that could include separately the suspension, seats, steering wheel and wheels. It was something that could be added. So depending on the wording; i.e. Sports Package steering wheel, doesn’t mean it will handle the same as a six speed. In 2001 17’s were the options on 5er Sport Packages, so those may have been added after the car was purchased.

Thanks for the info - I had never seen that.
