E36 318is, what does 'Is' mean?

[EuJax]

Thanks Zoggee and Elwine..

Those info will help me in my decision and hunt for the car. It might take a long time before i can find a nice piece i believe.

So is all Is 2 door or there are 4 door Is as well?

Yes, the "iS" comes in 4 doors as well...... I m driving a 4 door iS, M44, and i have to say that its really lovely.........

 

[elwine30]

yup, 4 door on e36IS is sweet. Go for manual man.

Isee...

Well thanks for the tips. Will look out to it. I guess i'd prefer a 2 door for now...havent driven a coupe before could be a good chance to try if i can find a nice piece.

Was driven around in a friend's dark green 2 dr '97 manual 318iS in Aus, quite responsive engine even on 18" rims..n nice looks...quite surprised about the power cos Ive sat in an auto 320 e36 before n that one was powerless IMO..

97 318is is with the 1.9 liter M44B19 140bhp engine.... the 320i has about 150bhp and with the slushbox... So I won't be surprised if the manual 318is feels more responsive compared to the 320i.

The iS engine is pretty fun to drive. Pretty revvy and once you get past 5000rpm, it starts to sing

Maintenance cost is pretty low and so far despite attaching a snail to it for close to 9 months, the engine is still going strong and I have not replaced any parts. It just shows how robust this engine is.

If you find one, do seriously consider it. There is not that many iS coupe around.
