The 320iS was a standard E30 body shell with Mtech suspension and used a 2 litre version of the S14 engine (2.3 and 2.5 in the M3) coupled with the getrag 265 "dog leg gear box". It could be had in 4dr form or 2dr with a tech2 body kit.
It was produced for the Italian and Portugese markets because of their high taxation on cars over 2 litres which the M3 and 325i fell into.
