BMW 3 Series Saloon 320i
I am buying a 1995 BMW 320i. But the owner doesn't know the model. I don't
think it says on the V5. How can I find out what model it is?

If there are two doors, it's a coupe unless the top folds down, then it's a convertible. If there are four doors, it's a sedan.

So the car is a E36.
If the owner has no idea of the trim level either, how could I find out what it is?

Take the VIN to the local dealership. They can provide you a build sheet
that describes all of the original equipment.

Similar to the U.S., although we only got the compact for a couple of years, IIRC. The wagons were called "Touring" over here (I thought "shooting brake" was a British term), until the current 3ers & 5ers which are now called "Sports Wagons". Tom
