When you bought the car did it have the IS badge on it?

A regular 325 has an ETA motor. Which was made for the USA when we had the gas problem. It had about 121hp/145 +- torque; it was a low revving car. It was geared very high also, at about 2.93. The ETA can be a good performance engine.

If you have an "S" model, that means Sport. Sport suspension,interior,LSD (I think).

The "I" motor is a performance motor. 160+- Hp and about 130+- torque.

Hope this helps,
