E36 328 question

[Chris]

All E36 3 series coupes have an "s" in the name, even if they don't have the sport package. 99 was the last year of the E36 generation. The larger VANOS equipped motor supposedly dropped an entire second off of 0-60 compared to the 2.5. The 328is with the sport package had 16 inch split five spoke wheels.

Mr. Goodspeed is correct, all the 2 doors had "s", it doesn't automatically guarantee sport package. In 96 is when the 325 went bye-bye and the 328 replaced it. The 2.8 had the same HP, a little more torque, and, of course, OBDII. 1998 brought us the 323, which had a detuned 2.5. I also think 96 is the last year you could get a LSD...I think GRM did an "E36 buyers guide" issue.

Don't discount a 318i/s, either. They're not terrible cars, and they're generally cheaper than the 6 pots.

cool thanks for the info! Not too interested in the 5 series- too large for me.
