a small correction on above (and an addition)

e = eta (either greek or latin, means efficient/economical)

a = automatic (with the exception of someone like Tim or me who have converted there auto to manual).

Cheers

showing my E30 ignorance but what is in the "IS" engine wise..

The 318 is M42 engine has a max.power output of 103 kw..(318 i, has 85 kw.)

Claimed top speed (318 is ) is 213 k. The 320i (e36) in comparison , puts out 110 kw.. not a lot of difference, from the chain driven twin cam M42 engine..

these are flywheel measurements.. hah .. I'd be impressed at a 318i putting 100kW at the wheels.
