euroriffic 609 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Easiest way is to look for the fat side mouldings with the M up the front and on the steering wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
