Put this in the wanted section mate.
Contact Speedtouch or Ant for the chip.
BMW didn't make a 318is cab :?

They didn't make cabs with angel eyes either, but yours seems to have them!

if you have a cab it will be a 318i 8v not the 16v IS


contact evolve for a chip for the 318is

speedtouch does not do them for 4 cyl cars only m20 and m30 engines

dont think ant does them for the IS either but i could be wrong
