Default Compression test help 95 318ti cs

Just visited the dealer so they could check my compressions. I need to know what is considered "normal" for my '95 318ti club sport. I can't find it in the manual.
Thanks!!!

I had a compression test done on my M42 '95 318ti a while back after the plastic water pump impellar expoded and the car stareted to overheat. The readings were 215 exactly for each cylinder. I don't know above what number is acceptable, but I'm pretty sure the readings should be within a few percentage points of each other.
