E is for Eta

[Steven Schlossman <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone asked:
<< E30: What does "s" mean in 325is >>

And someone replied:
>The "s" mean sport and the "e" for the 325e is economy.

According to the BMW  Enthusiast's Companion

E is for Eta (high fuel efficiency engine)

S can been Special or Sports
In this case, it's Sport

Now I thought a S model was generally a two door.
Or is that only on E36s?
