How to identify Trim level?

How to identify Trim level?
So... I'm shopping for a used 8. Currently looking for an '05 Red Touring MT
I may snag one through CarMax since the local dealer just never seems to have any, and I don't really trust buying one used from any of the other local dealers.
That being said, I'll be shopping around online for one obviously, so I need help in identifying trim levels so I make sure I end up with a Touring or Grand Touring and not a Sport that got upgraded wheels.
Is this something that can be identified by the VIN, or any other visual cue?
And is '05 an ok year, or should I stretch a bit for an '06?

Huge hole is huge
This is for the 07's, but something tells me it's the same for most/all years out right now in the US.

Yeah, I just don't trust a dealer to tell me over the phone whether or not it has HID headlights and DSC.
But, if those specs are correct for previous years, the identifying option is:
Moonroof
It was N/A on the base model. And since I want one with a moonroof, I'm safe. Thanks

yeah, as long as it has the moonroof, it should have the sport package and the difference between touring and grand touring would be the leatherand power+heated seats.
