I had a E36 318is Coupe. I drag raced it and it did a 16.6@83mph LOL. Beat some XR4i's and poorly driven RS Turbo's haha.

i personally think it would feel underpowerd

As was the 318is and the 318Ci IMO. Both cars had good chassis, but needed more umph.
Also for me the 318Ci with its Valvetronic engine had no real power band and revved cleanly throughout, which to be fair the engine design team probably strived for. The flip side meant it wasn’t very rewarding to drive.

I am happy with my 318i E91

Think they're a bit confused on that spec page...

Standard equipment
Four-cylinder in-line diesel engine with common-rail technology
