I recently purchased a '96 318ti. I have no idea if it is a base model, active, or sport. I know it is not a club sport. How do you tell the difference between the different 318ti models? Based on what I've read at this site there were the following models available in the U.S.: - base - active - sport - club sport Does the VIN show what model it is? Or is it an equipment level option? ________ vaporgenie

Active models come with a standard auto trans, trip computer and cruise control. I think the sport models came with sport seats and ///M front and rear bumpers. Sorry to hijack the thread but I didnt want to start a new one on the same topic. Can anyone tell if this is a Sport or a Club Sport? http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...g=&cardist=144 __________________

This is a very common question and you should be able to find information by using the search function of this site.
Regarding that specific car... I vote "Sport." It's definitely not a "Club Sport" because that version was only sold in the US in 1995, and very few were made. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
