[GMDee]

Hey, I hope no one's posted this already...I just need some specs on the BMW E36 318i (95)...anything is appreciated, or if you know where I should go to find them on the net.

what do you need to know?

[GMDee]

Anything you care to share...general stuff really. Its just cuz i'm interested more than anything

1.9 litre 138 hp inline 4 cylinder, at least get the Is, dont bother with the bimmer 318i, its too bareboned to even call it a bmw

[t-im]

IS is bareboned too..it's just a coupe version...if it wasn't optioned out then it'll be fairly basic...same as sedan..

iirc i, is, and ti all had engines in a slightly different state of tune....115hp, 140hp, and i dont remember about ti.

im pretty sure the 1.9 was in the 96+ 318s, in canada the sedans recieved the single cam 115 hp engine, the coupe the 138hp twin cam

but this is definetly not a quick car in any way

there is a pretty small aftermarket for them, there are some guys making serious power with turbos and s/cs but they have very custom setups

they handle amazing, many ppl say it handles better than a 325/328 cus of the lower weight up front, with suspension upgrades it probably outhandles an m3 (i'd tell you, but i've never driven an m3)

Here is some info for ya.

Its a 1.8L
134HP

[m10-power]

M42 1.8L 16v '92-95 134hp(rated)

M44 1.9L 16v '96-98 138hp(rated)

We didn't get the M40 or M43 engines (single cam)

The M42 is an excellent engine, forged crankshaft and rods from the factory. Not much aftermarket available but a custom turbo system could make huge reliable power. Engine is very robust.

What do u need to know ?

318 I .. good car !

I used to have a 97 318 i Cab 6 yrs ago ! I loved it ! very Solid ! reasonable power output too ...

[three.eighteen.]

m10, yeah the sedans in canada got m43 single cams...i know its because its the only e36 my car could consistently outrun

[t-im]

err i duno where everyone pulls this info, but canada NEVER had a 115hp 318i

across the line it was a 1.8L 138HP engine, and 96~ it was 1.9L..

period
