E61 model mix up?
Discussion
Hi everyone
I've just bidded on and won a 2009 E61 525d touring.
The problem is it was listed as an m sport model though I'm sure it's not.
It's not got the sport bumper's, sport seats, wheel's or anything else.
It's even got wood interior trim (I thought it would have carbon fibre/silver trim).
After doing some checks with the chassis number and registration (car text checker and other places) it does state it as a 525d m sport but when a friend has checked through bmw's own records it comes up listed as a 525d UL (what does the UL stand for btw) with no mention of m sport anywhere in the spec list.
I've no problem it not being a lesser model if that's what it is just concerned for any future problems with insurance or buying parts for it and resale etc?
Anyone got any ideas other than it's possible it's a cloned/rung car?

That info was brilliant thank you.Put the last 7 digits of the vin in here it'll tell you the spec: http://bimmer.work
Bmw-warranty has listed it as a 525d SE touring which is as suspected and bimmer.work is fantastic it showed me the full spec and 3D pictures of the interior and exterior.
I might give Vosa a ring Monday to confirm its identity and the chances of changing it back to a SE model if possible.
