318i or 318is
« on: April 08, 2010, 12:00:53 PM »
Hi guys.

I own a 318i 4 doors 1995 but the motor is a 16v like the 318is I know that a 4 doors (Supertourisme) was existed in 1995 but i thing it was only with a 4 speeds manuel transmission and the wheels was 16" My transmission is automatic and may wheels is 15"...

Do you know a way to find out what my car is?

Thanks

Nick

I'm no expert but the last time I saw a four speed in a BMW they were in the 70's 2002 model. I have never seen an E30 or newer with a 4spd. I think even the E21 have 5spd, but I have never taken a good look so I am not positive. As for the engine, all 318 motors from 1990 to 1995 are the same regardless of 318i or iS. They changed to 1.9L in 1996.

Anyhow, I am confused by what you are asking so hopefully my info is relevant in some way.
