Question How to tell if M45 has Sport Package

I am looking to trade my '04 G35 in some time this year. I really want a used 2006 or 2007 M45 with the Sport package. However, I don't know how to tell for sure which cars have the Sport package and which don't. Are the 19" wheels the tale-tale sign? Or are the 19" wheels available on the non-Sport models as well? Also, if it has the wood-grain interior, is that a non-Sport model as well? I really don't like the wood-grain interior.

Also, is there a web site where I can find out the differences between the 2006's and 2007's?

Thanks in advance!

The best way you can tell is the headlights. The Sport has a Black housing and the regular has a Chrome housing.

also look at the heated and cooled seat switches. If they are together on the right, its a sport, if not, its a regular one. Also Aluminum dash trim with Aluminum petals and also with contrast stitching on the steering wheel.

For 2008, some other exterior differences would be the front and rear aprons. The photos above show the difference in the front bumper/apron. In the Sport, the center space in the front is much wider.

Of course, the red 'S' helps as well.
