i3 with sport package vs i3s

As the title says, I'm thinking about adding an i3 for work/shopping (65km one way) etc commute. For other duties, I have an 530e and E61 545i. I do wonder though what the difference is between i3 with sport package and the i3s. Obviously the power bump, dtc programming, sport button etc. But then it comes to suspension? sport package lowers the car by 10mm, adds 'fatter' wheels (same as i3s) but how about the track width? From what I understand, the i3s has an 44mm wider track compared to i3, but is that with or without the sport package?

Thx

I did read an other thread about this, but it doesn't say anything about the track width.

I would stay with the stock unit - you're not going to feel or get any use out of the extra performance. In addition the 20" wheels are a mistake because it increases the height of a car that is already way too tall.

The 20" wheels do not increase the height of the car, because they sport a shorter sidewall which does stiffen the ride, while keeping the same overall diameter.
