Well the 320iS was originally fited with a R12 system, but it might be converted to R134a, there's a factory kit for that...

I'd ask your A/C expert first... I don't know if it has been converted but it seems like it. And the comp still has the old signs on it of course...

I'm not sure as I'm no A/C expert but I have heard people talk about R134a in a non-converted R12 system and it seems to work well but I don't know what the risks are... A/C components are not cheap!
