what year bmw? they only have 325, and 330 series now.

it's basically a trim package though. iS has limited slip, I is the 'basic' package, iC is a convertible, but I don't know what Ci is...

328IS think of an M3 but with out limited slip, and about 40 less horse power
328I base model prolly puttin about 140-145 to the wheels
328IC = coup dont buy really shitty

and then as IAM-TOPIK said, 328CI is only for BMW E46 3 serie's
