Spyder i 1990 - 1989 to 1992
A revised Spyder i was introduced in 1989, some two years before the styling makeover of the 3rd Series. The power output reached 220 HP at 6250 rpm, with electronic injection and "constant overboost" ignition control. The system effectively got rid of any possibility of pinking.
Externally, the car sported 15" alloy rims, while Zagato of Milan was still in charge of Spyder production.
