You can also convert your measurement around the bar. 4.75 comes out to a little over 36mm. I would guess you have the 36mm bar.

if mine is 36mm does that mean my car has a special package?

It means you have the biggest stock bar the factory produced. Most people are satisfied with the performance they get with a bar like yours.

 

would there be a way to tell if your bar is bent?what would be some side effects?i am just curious

The sway bar ends should be level, when the car is sitting on a flat surface. If it is bent, the car will sit lower on one side. You should be able to determine this simply by measuring the distance from the top of the tire, to the fender lip. They should be equal. (within a few 10ths, anyway)
