Yes, 'sport line' is now standard (minus the m-sport suspension), but the plain seats are essentially a no cost option. Nice now that you can have sensatec in black or oyster/black in every trim - don't remember BMW offering that in any previous cars.

I would have been happy with the 2015 sport package, but getting sport suspension now requires the m-sport bodywork now for 2016, at the exact same cost as the THP. $2300 for stiffer springs and different body work isn't too appealing considering the actual parts cost barely than the base car's.

I have a convertible with THP (no run flats), and even in sport the ride is softer than my Focus ST, S2000, or E92 sport pkg. However, there is a little jiggle going on in the suspension, not the body, that the other cars did not have. The Dinan shockware may solve, but I am holding out hope for BMW to fix, haha.

Some of you must be jaded, because the hi-fi audio is better than most cars, even several steps above my 'upgraded' Focus ST Sony system, but a few steps below the E92 HK (std back then in the 335, sigh).
