The easiest way to identify the 1999 9-3 SE's with the 185 HP engine is the wheels. When the 9-3 was introduced, the SE version had the "Viking" 16" wheels -- essentially three broad, flat spokes. When Saab introduced the HOT version in mid-1999 model year, they went to the current (as of 2001) 5-spoke 16" wheels. I believe that the newer version also included lower body cladding that was absent on the original 1999 SE. Since owners can change wheels, of course, the only sure way is to discover what VIN number marks the beginning of the HOT versions. Remember, too, that the 2000 HOT engine produced 200 HP, while the 2001 & 2002 versions produce 205 HP -- an insignificant difference.
