The extra $4010 is not only the body work, and wheels, but it also includes performance tires, front projector fog lights. I also believe that the sport it has a sport tuned suspension front and rear and the car is lowered. However, I haven't been able to find any info supporting the sport tuned suspension.

If the Sport package doesn't inlcude the sport tuned suspension, then you are right. You can do alot more to a car for that much. For $4010, I could install H&R lowering springs, 18" performance rubber and wheels, and get PIAA installed on my own.

However, when I went to go look up suspension upgrades for the 2000 E-class, the E430 sport was listed seperatly then the the E430 and E320.

Only one things I can suggest for you to do in order to find out, call 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES.
