Did BMW ever sell an E46 318i in the US?

I did a little bit of research and I couldn't find evidence of BMW USA ever selling an E46 318i in the US. However, a girl at my school just got a black 318i. It's an early E46 (Pre-facelift).. Was this a model sold in the US, because I never heard of these being sold in America.

I don't think so. I think the last 318 in North America was the E36. I think the earliest E46's were 323 and 328. Of course there was the 318ti.

Strange. I guess it could be a 328.. My friend just told me it was a 318.. She could have read it wrong. I only saw the front. I'll check on Monday.

That's probably what happened. To make things more confusing, there was an E46 318i, just not here in NA. Hell, even Canada has gotten the E36 320i and I think they even had an E46 320i.

The only thing a 318ti is good for is swapping an S50/2 into it

I think there is an E60 320i in Canada too.
