Easiest way is to look for the fat side mouldings with the M up the front and on the steering wheel.

It's only a 318, so doesn't really matter - you could order M bits on anything, and anything that's not an M3, M5 etc, is just a car with some M options ordered (or maybe added later.

If it's a nice car and you like it, just go for it B)

From that VIN it's a facelift Alpine White 318i four door, manual.

So, not specified with any motorsport bits from factory, but doesn't mean it doesn't have any. You'll need to put up a pic to confirm.

The 318is had all the M gear. NZ got a few 4 door version during the e36 model run out (1997-). Engine way 4 valve 1900, They had full leather, Alpina style alloys , M3 body kit and a colour range that looked it was from the BMW individual range.

get under the car, and have a look at the rear cover of the diff, you should see a metal tag on it about 2 inches long, it will say the letter S if it is an LSD eg S3.76 is a 1:3.76 ratio LSD

I bet you own a convertable

Lol I have a convertible. You should look at Westy's profile and see what kind of "E30" he has
