320i/ic M50B20 1994-1995 1991cc i6 110kw(150bhp)@5900 190Nm@4200


You should put the stats for euro M3 as well, great job though.

oh the 318is had a different motor to the 318i, the 318i only had 2 valves per cylinder, the 318is has 4 valves per cylinder and produced the figures you posted but the ordinary 318i only produced
85kW(115bhp)@5500rpm and 168Nm torque@3900rpm

dont worry when i get some more time im going to do the world specs. And thanks for the feedback and help !!!

[Devo-Dave]

sorry I missed the title of the thread lol, the U.S. did not get the 320i in E36 form sorry 'bout that, maybe it will help you for the world specs when you get around to it. I have the specs for the compacts as-well, if you need them just let me know and I'll post them.

[bmw318is1994]

haha the S42...drool...I'm down to do the work once i get the money for it. What would you M3's guy do if you got beat by a N/A 318is? hahaha

[Nitrious]

w00t, in europe the 318 has 113bhp and the 318is 143bhp =S

[jimrune]

double post.. sorry

[Eva_323is]

sweet I'm guessing your chart is the same for my 1999 323is i think??

[jerdye30,325i]

US gets the lame stuf 240hp m3 iz a joke wen evry1 else gets 300,even us in jamaica.
bmw sed the US car wud cost 2 much so yall got a stroked m50b25 damn

[cmoubell]

ya no doubt! nice thread!

[b1guno]

on average how much power should i have gained from a cold air intake full exhaust (header back) dinan chip and a schrick cam its a 1994 318is and theres no public dyno around here that i know of but im always asked how much power im making

[skyflyer]

Yeah I agree with the rest. I wouldn't put 318i and 318is in the same category. They have different power output.

[Cybertrn]

I would like to say same category for this trend.

[mistreku]

i really dont get it.. you mean that the s52b32 has only 240 bhp? WTF?! in europe it has a 321 bhp output.

[euro6]

The evo has completely different internals. The USDM E36 M3 is a way detuned version due to emissions here in the states. things like solid valvetrain higher compression exc is what you will find in the evo's. it really is unfair.
