318 TI

From the front bumper to the A pillar, the 3 Series Compact is identical to the BMW 3 Series (E36) saloon. As with the entire E36 range, the E36/5 also shares an identical wheelbase. From the A pillar rearwards, the E36/5 is unique from others in the E36 range.

The E36/5 shares its suspension with the BMW Z3; the front suspension employs the E36's standard MacPherson strut design, while the rear suspension uses a semi trailing arm from the previous model BMW 3 Series (E30).

The E36/5 made use of the older semi-trailing arm rear axle, as opposed to the E36's Z-Axle Multi-link suspension. As the trailing arm design was smaller, it allowed for a lower trunk floor height, fold-down rear seats, and an exterior undermounted compact spare tire.

The inherent design of the trailing arm suspension was that it favoured oversteer. Consequently, the BMW 3 Series Compact received mixed reviews from the automotive press; with some claiming the chassis was the most balanced of the E36 range, whilst others said that the car wandered and darted in a straight line, and was uncomposed in the corners.[citation needed]

Engines and performance[edit]

In North America, the sole engine available was the DOHC 1.8 litre, 138bhp (103kW; 140PS) inline-four BMW M42 engine for the 1995 model year. In 1996, to make the car compliant with OBD-II, the engine was replaced by the 1.9 litre M44 unit.

Outside North America, consumers had a wider range of engine choices. The 316g could run on compressed natural gas or on petrol; when using gas it produced about 20% less power. The 316g was a strict two-seater, as the rear seat area was taken up by the gas cylinder.
