The BMW 318i was a variant of the E30 3 Series that debuted for the 1983 model year. The 318i was offered in sedan, coupe, convertible, and touring (station wagon) body styles, and was initially powered by BMW's M10B18 inline four engine. This engine generated 104hp, but in 1987, BMW began fitting the 318i with the M40B18 engine, which was a 111hp inline four unit. Both manual and automatic transmission options were offered. Production of the 318i sedan ended in 1991, but production of the 318i Touring wagon continued until 1994. The E30 BMW 318i was replaced by the E36 BMW 318i.
