Anyone got some pics of one of these? (Geeman?!) They run sport running gear (ie sus and brakes) with a 2.0 s14 dont they?

What interiors do they have? Sport?

Quite plaid lookin aint they?! Available in a 4door with no kit at all!! or a 2dr with the m-tech2

Awesome cars these.I remember in Total BMW or one of the mags they compared a 320is with a 325 and a couple of M3's i think, the 20is seemed to be the quickest one of them all if i remember rightly.

Very cool cars, look completly standard, but they sure fly

I remember reading a post about this in the mag, and being suprised that the 320iS beat the M3's!

Why does hardly anyone sell Total BMW?!!

Too much helium can be bad for you.

there's a guy in Kings Lynn, Norfolk who imports them and can be had from Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2500-Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5000. Plus they are not rusty as Italy doesn't salt their roads

I think only 750ish 4 door ones were made, proper sleeper

I would definately fancy one at some point

Hi all , the guy in Kings Lynn is Wayne Howlet of German cars(07788620730) , indeed these are fantastic cars and he's got a few in stock . We did a comparison at Bruntingthorpe and in the article the 320is came out on top but I must add that we only had one timed run down the track and my only timed run was the first time I'd been down the track and so didnt try too hard . As the day went on it was clear that there wasn't a great difference in the cars but my standard 2.3 car did pull ahead on the straights . Wayne's Silver 320is is a lovely thing and I often wonder if I should get one myself .

hmm, curious, without searching at all, what's the engine code of the 320iS? is it S14 still?

Post Fri Mar 04, 2005 1:14 am
