Should be fitted with them.

Sorry to hear it turned out to be a dog...

But just for info... my first Sport (an '87 model 10 years ago!) didn't have power steering. It was quite an unusual one as it was 'originally' Diamond Black with a tan interior... looked really nice.

Anyway, hope you find a decent one soon...

Again, I think if you wanted anthracite headlining and was willing to pay for it, you could have it, there's quite a few 318is's out there with it too as Chris says (Mark R's has got it).

The ETK even lists anthracite headlining for the touring.

No... the 318iS was never called a Sport, in the same way the 320iS was never called a Sport, though was based on a 325i Sport shell, so had the black headlining as standard... confused now?

Not all 318iS's came with LSD or black headlining as standard... mine didn't come with either when I bought it. No check control, no OBC, no map reading lights... but they ALL came with Sports seats and Mtech suspension...

Almost as confusing as the 325i Motorsports... but let's not get into that!

Giles.
