1988 BMW 320iS: Due to Italy’s high tax on engines with displacements of over 2 liters, BMW Motorsport decided to create an S14 with a displacement that was just shy of 2 liters. Dubbed ‘The Italian M3’, it was available as a two door with full M-Technic body kit as well as a four door saloon. Specs: 1.99-liter (1,990cc) Bosch Motronic M1.3 fuel-injected S14 engine with 192 hp (141 kW) @ 6,900 RPM (max 7,300 RPM) 155 ft-lbs (210 Nm) of torque @ 4,900 RPM, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (249.5 km/h). Between 1987 and 1990, there were 3,747 units produced specifically for the Italian market. More info can be found in the following link https://classic-vintage-bmw.tumblr.com/e30320is
