New to BMW - Simple questions about the 318ti

[justmanson]

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site and I hope you can help me with some questions i have. I have been looking at the site for a few days now and I have found a 318ti i really like, but after viewing a lot of threads and pictures i have some questions.

First the Trim Package. I've seen posts about the Stock, Active, and Sport. What characteristics would separate the 3? does the Sport have the M symbol on the door trim or is that added by people buying m3 trims?

The vehicle i'm interested in buying is a 95ti. It doesn't have the m3 symbol and i don't know how to tell the trim packages from one another. does it really matter between the trim levels if i plan on getting a suspension package anyways? is there more power or different engines between the stock and the sport?

i hope you can answer some of my questions and look forward to being part of this great BMW 318ti forum.

Mike
