320i tourings have a 4.27 diff, not a 4.10. The 320i saloon had a 4.10 diff after '87, before that they had a 3.91.
Fitting the 320i touring diff to a 318iS will in theory make it accelerate a bit quicker but rev higher at speed, if you can notice the difference as the ratios are pretty close.
I would say with the 4.27 diff the iS will rev maybe 100-200rpms higher than at the same speed with a 4.10 diff.
