I know that they do have leather.. i am almost sure they could have pwr as well. My old 95 318 had heated leather, but was manual..

Leather, sun roof, 6disc changer, heated seats, basically everything that normally consitiutes "loaded" on a simliar year car. However, according to kbb.com power seats were not an option. Also another thing to think about is tilt steering wheel is a very rare option. So make sure you can get comfortable without the tilt steering, or be ready to take a lot of time to find one with tilt steering.

enjoy the good MPG handling and good excelleration when taken care of. Upgrade the chip, intake, exhaust, short shifter, throttle body and you will have a very nice car with fairly good exceleration and speed. The handling is the best of the 3 series both E36 and E46. I take a set of twisties near my house at about 60 with eas. I test drove my friends E46 330 and it can barly take them at 40. Although at those speeds the chasis twist (need a strut bar)

When you buy your 318 you MUST change the spark plugs&wires, oil&filter, fuel filter, O2 sensor, and air filter ASAP. This is th emajor cause as to why many people think that a 318 is beyond slow. There not as fast as the other 3 series but not slow.

If your stuborn about uping to a 325 or 328 then have the engine balanced and a port & polish. Keep it at 1.8L and take it to autocross to have fun.
