Default Ground clearance

Can someone tell me what the ground clearance for A4 Premium Plus with the sport package is? I couldn't find this info online. All I found was that the sport package lowers it by 20mm in the US and 30mm in Europe, but I couldn't find what the standard ground clearance is.
I ordered mine with the sport package and since the ETA is a few months away, the wife is already giving me hard time about the reduced ground clearance, not that she will be driving the car herself, but you'd know how it is if you are married.

Here is a link to the Audi webpage with the specifications. Let me know if you can't find what your looking for and I'll go out and actually measure it.

It's not published. That's why I asked. If you are going to measure it, I presume the lowest spot is somewhere on the front bumper or a little behind it. Thanks in advance.

Should be between 110 and 120mm, closer to 110. Without sport suspension it is 130.

Thanks a lot. That is 5.1" for the standard model and 4.3-4.7" for the sport suspension. I see Yahoo shows 5.7" for my wife's IS250. 1" below that should be fine for me.
By the way, I was looking for the ground clearance of the BMW 328xi coupe and sedan and those were not published either.

I just have a somewhat steep and long driveway and I'd hate to have to climb it up backwards.

The car and driver i-phone buyers guide app says 4.2" for the non-sport. Not sure where they get their data from.
