If the speedometer reads in kilometers on the outside and miles per hour on the inside does this indicate it is a European car? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Most likely. I don't see a KPH or MPH, but my 328 does have that (MPH in orange like the outside numbers). Hope this helps. Mike Image Unavailable, Please Login . Note the photo attached. American 328. Mike
My bad. I increased your photo in size and see the KPH in orange on the left with MPH in small white on the right. I'm assuming that that means Euro. Mike
That could be the stock speedo delivered on a Canadian spec 328 as well - a Canadian market car, aside from metric gauges, would be similar to a US spec car. You'd need to look for the other Euro signs like side marker lights, cat converters (indicated by the 'Slow Down' light beside the speedo in post #2), bumper positioning to determine original market.
The oil pressure gauge being in units of bar, and not having a red "slow down" warning light to the lower left of the speedometer are also strong clues that it's not a US version. You can also decode the VIN here: www.red-headed.com if it's in the sales ad.
Given that the larger numbers on the dial are MPH, it would not be a Euro car unless it’s right hand drive, from the UK. A Canadian car would also be in KPH first as well. I would guess that’s it’s a US car. It was common to have both MPH and KPH on the same dial back then.
Sorry, I was looking at the speedo on post #2. KM/H are the larger set of numbers with smaller MPH on the inside is the question. Could be Canadian.
Agreed, Canadian 328s would have a cat and slow down light, along with the metric units on all the gauges. I can't make out or tell if there is a slow down warning light in the OP's pictures, though. Gordon
It says that it was shipped to the US in 1988, but all of the gauges are metric. The radiator temp gauge is in celcius. Not a US car. Call the dealer and ask to look at the warranty card. It will indicate the original delivery location.

Vin clearly decodes as European car - I'm not convinced those mph figures are original - my recollection Euro LHD did not also have mph - happy to be corrected
The 328 SPCs seem to agree with you = (standard) euro LHD has kph only. Unfortunately, MCP does show photos of every version speedometer face.
