How to discern if the coupe is really MSport?

[dirtydoogle 383]

My 94 E36 has the build code with MSport body and suspension, but, I still "need" to clarify. To my understanding the car will be a wee bit lower with higher damping rates, stiffer springs and fatter sway bars. Am I correct? I am not able to find a way of identifying the struts or springs between standard or MSport, so I measured the hieght between the ground and the front sill [at the rear of front wheel arch] and got 131mm. I measured the dirt covered front sway bar as 25.83mm, which seems too small to me. It sits nice and fairly flat, has brilliant bump controll [near perfect really] and compared to my brothers old E36 325 sedan of the same year, rides very hard and flat.

Any proper info would be great thanks guys!

Oh, the rear sway bar is about as thick as a gnats nudger.....

Doesn't give me the sizes for the sway bars. Helpful though. I forgot about that link
