Only one engine was available, the 1.3-litre unit used in the European R5 TS. Claimed output is 49.29 kW (67.0 PS; 66.1 hp) SAE. There was a base model with vinyl seats and lap belts only, and upmarket LS and LSS models with fabric interior, side stripes, a vinyl roof, and more sound deadening and other comfort details. The LSS also got a central console and a full length fabric sunroof. Many extras used in Europe, such as a rear window wiper and a tachometer, were not available in South Africa because it would make it impossible to meet local content regulations. Local content was 56% at introduction and increased steadily as production wore on. By 1979, the lineup was restricted to the GTL and the TS, both still with the 1289 cc engine but now with 34 or 46 kW (46 or 63 PS; 46 or 62 hp) ISO respectively." Looking at the BMW 3 pic there's no full length sunroof so not LSS, but stripes mean LS seems possible.
