This black one I just picked up is a 2dr... my white 92 is a 4dr. They are both 3 Series cars. There is a BMW 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 series. After that series # is the engine in the car. 318 is a 3 series 1.8L 4cyl engine.... 540i is a 5 series 4L V8. The "t" in 318ti stands for "touring package" aka hatch or wagon.
and there ya have a nifty lil lesson on Bimmers.
