The easiest way is to look at your tachometer. If the redline is at 4800 you have an "eta." If it is upwards of 6800 you have an "i". More info here

edit: I just noticed your avatar says you have a 325ix, but then you said you have two doors. You're confusing me man

2.5/2.7 could mean a stroker motor, was the engine rebuilt? also you could look on your registration and it should have the type.

Your engine is probably a combination of an "eta" block and an "i" head (although it's more complicated than that). This basicly means you've got the high-revving action of the i head and the torque of the bigger block. And as to which car is the strong probably neither. The "is" has more accessories, such as the things you mentioned. The ix is all-wheel drive.
