While I had the wheels off my car the other day for a post-Brunters clean out of the cross-drilled holes in the brake disks, I noticed the springs were clearly marked as Eibach items. I normally associate that brand with aftermarket fitment, but I could be wrong. Anyone know if they were standard on 3200's?

Also, I couldn't spot any obvious valving/plumbing/wiring around the shocks that would give away the presence of the electronically adjustable damping. Anyone know what I should be looking for?

I'm just wondering whether the factory fitted kit has been replaced at some point? It's a Trident Approved use car that was sold to me as having electronic suspension so I'd be surprised; however, since getting the car I have always thought the most noticeable difference when the sport button is pressed is the more lenient ASR operation rather than anything in the ride. Can anyone tell much different in ride/handling when the sport button is pressed?

I'd have to say whatever is on there is pretty much to my taste, so I'm not overly worried about this, but it has just triggered my curiosity.
