Really? Where did you see this? E30 models the "S" meant sport where you can have a 325i 2 door or 325is 2 door. Not positive 4 door models came with sport option...
To my knowledge E36 models are "IS" 2 door, "I" 4 door. There was an option for a Sports Package not discerned by the badge. You may be right, but I haven't heard of this until now..

Yeh, my friend said he saw a 318is sedan and I told him that it was impossible, that "is" is only for coupes. but than I did a bit of research and here it does say that: http://www.bmwworld.com/models/e36.htm also if you serach google pictures for 318is sedan you will see it as being labled a '96 model.
I did my own research and no where does it list a 1996 318is sedan. Just use a parts locator or KBB.COM to find the different trim models for 1996 3 series:
1996 3 Series
318ti Hatchback Coupe 2D
318i Sedan 4D
318is Coupe 2D
318i Convertible 2D
328i Sedan 4D
328is Coupe 2D
328i Convertible 2D
BMWWORLD.COM is listing EURO models. So perhaps it's a euro variation or a typo. I guarentee there are no U.S. 96 318is sedans..

How do I know if I have the sport or not for sure. I have a 1993 325is coupe? It came with 17" design 44's that one of the previous owners put on. It doesn't have the leg extensions on the seats. They are leather but I assumed all bmw seats were leather. Is there any part of the VIN that denotes sport package or standard package? Did the sport package come in differant configurations also?
