The second two numbers are the engine displacement, or an approximation thereof (in this case 1.8/2.8L). So the 328 is a 3-Series body style, with a 2.8L Engine. __________________ --------------------------------------- '97 Hellrot 318ti - Active, 5 speed 17'' BMW Motorsport Wheels ACS-"Style" (E-Bay, haha) Racing Pedals M Frontspoiler (OEM) Alpine CDA 9827 MP3/CD Head Unit Alpine E12 Subwoofer (now stolen) Audiobahn A4002T Amp (also now stolen) Dented driver side fender (provided courtesy of blind 80 year old woman) Keyed passenger door (provided by someone who likes to key red cars) Soon to come (now that I've graduated and have a real job) S52 Engine Swap!!!

It makes sense actually too, hehe. But it would seem as if my mother has once again changed her mind. She's just gonna give me money (like originally planned) and I'm off to find my own vehicle, which is cool, cuz i can get a Honda Civic for pretty cheap. | | | 04-12-2005, 01:07 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by DJLotus 97Hellrot318ti: that's interesting information, thanks for letting me know that.

Or a nice E30 325is for $4000. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 04-12-2005, 01:16 AM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 | The ti was my first!

I got mine from my cousin after she got herself a new ML320. Spoiled little girl she is, but I guess I was too for getting that as a present. Insurance was kinda high, had to work to pay that crap off. Only problems were the windows and doors basically, backseat is a little too small for certain activities , found a way to get around that though... __________________ RIP Tonka Hitlerietta 08/03/04 - 01/25/05 | | | 04-12-2005, 02:51 AM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by durnadupa Only problems were the windows and doors basically, backseat is a little too small for certain activities , found a way to get around that though... | I had a Corvair.
