Default What kind of 318ti is this?

Going to look at a well maintained 318ti this weekend, but not sure what model it is. It's a 97, 5spd, NO cruise, leather interior, with painted bumpers. From the seller "Power everything besides seats, including one-touch windows, power side mirrors, rear winshield wiper, and power sunroof!"

What trim is it?

looks like an active, does it have an OBC next to the radio or just a clock?

That's what I thought, but then I read that actives come with cruise control, don't they?

they usually do, but check next to the radio, if it has two buttons, one that has a pic of a clock and once that says "S/N", it's an OBC, if it has two buttons that just say "H" and "M" it's just a clock and you're looking at a very well optioned base model

My '96 Sport/M-tech has just the clock and no cruise.

See if you can get the vin number and we can decode it.

Although you could get it as an option.

I had a sport with optional OBC and cruise.

No OBC then it's a base with upgraded wheels.
