I know BMW did'nt put the OBC on the 4 cylider cars but does any one know if it is possible to fit to 1? or if you need any other parts than you would usually need to fit one to a 6cylinder car?

I believe they were an option on the iS, and I've seen some with an OBC, so it's not impossible.

Yes dead easy to fit mate, only thing you'll need is i different coding chip on the back as most the OBC's are from 325i's they work out the fuel economy for one of those instead of for the 318iS. Not many people bother with the chip though, they cost about Ԛ£44 from the dealer IIRC.
