I just asked the guys at the parts desk if they could print it for me, gave them my VIN and walla.

Sondermotor
German to English translation

I dont see what is so spethial about it? Looks just like any other 328i motor i have seen.

Okay, this is quite interesting. Found this after a minute or so of google searching on another forum...

UPDATE:
I found out what Special Motor means!

While the European version gets an aluminum block, which trims about 70 pounds in weight, BMW claims that high sulphur content in some American fuel formulations requires that North American models retain the cast-iron crankcase similar to that in the 325i.
