Never seen a 325is sedan or a 325i coupe. Very easy to remove the 325is badge and replace it with a 325i badge. i = sedan, is = coupe

In Europe, most coupe 325 are only "I" cars.
The IS came out with the E36 body style.
My buddy had a factory 325I with a MtechI kit, and sport suspension on an E30 coupe, it wasn't an IS.

You're right...you're always right.

Explain yourself further please.

[JK_E30]

s on an E30 (and an E36 for that matter) denotes 2 door, not sports package.

Explain yourself further please.

Here is my proof that you are wrong.

-I would argue with us anymore. I own a 2-door 325i (non-sport). It DOES have an added 'is spoiler and LSD, but a non-sport interior and 6-button OBC.

-As for the e36, you are correct.

WRONG. How about the non s options on coupes? Mine had no spoiler, an i lip, 6 button obc, non sport vinyl 2 door interior (cant be swapped from a 4 door) and no mtech wheel. NOT an is.

Yes, an 'is is always a coupe, but an i is not always a sedan. Many Many 325i cars are coupes. I've talked to the original owner on one I was looking at buying, defiantly not a re badge.

[gobuffs]

Doesn't really apply to the e as much...the 84 325e was a 2 door. Sedan wasn't available in 84.
