Hi everyone,

I am about to view a 320is 4 door auto rhd. I thought all 320is were lhd?

What are the auto boxes like on these. I would prefere a manual but I am led to believe this car is rare (1206 made) so I ain't too worried about that. Can I put the manual box from my 325 touring on this engine?

Whats it worth if there is no rust on it? 2 owners and 120000 miles on it?

Many thanks,

Tel

Are you sure it's not just a 320i? I can't imagine there being many auto 320is' around!

First check I would do is to open the bonnet and count the cylinders....

I think you should be very careful with this one, I smell the effluent of a male bovine here

No mention of auto or RHD here: http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=10

Interesting to note that 4 door 320is do not have the Tech 2 kit. You live and learn.

Yep, just double checked with him and it is 6 cylinders. Dont know why he called it an iS though... Got me all excited!

Thanks all

Unless he means 320i SE?

Difficult to think of something further removed from a 320iS than a 4 door auto 320i!
