Do older VIN #'s routinely produce such erroneous results? The minimal evidence I have (until I can get the driver's door open) indicates the car was truly a 320iS, not a 318i. The seats are definitely vinyl Recaros. And I'm very confused by the Vehicle Options. Cal Test? (California?) Rad Install Kit Rik? 17" wheels? 318iC 100%??? Can anyone shed any light on these mysterious details? I'm not even sure that 17" wheels were made by anyone back then!

The option numbers are sometimes recycled after a lot of years, hence the 17" wheels. It is also possible, (Phil Marx, you out there?), that BMW internally referred to your car as a 318, because that's what it is.

Promised Christmas gift is not available. Promised youngest daughter I would get her an armrest/cupholder like the rest of the family has for her '90 325i. Husco Engineering out of Wilton Connecticut has made them for BMW NA and Bavarian Autosport now for 20 years, but they appear to have gone belly up. No website, no telephone, BMW has them as NLA, BavAuto dropped them from the web site. This is the arm rest that always came in black vinyl with crinkle finished steel frame and plastic cup holders with drop down wire bails to hold the cups. Fits over the back of the E30 center console. Bolts under the parking brake mount. Will pay reasonable amount for one, extra for new in the box.
