[QUOTE="lance, post: 308080, member: 13039"] er... ok ... Anyway, just to update ... saw 2 cars over the weekend ... a 1993 & 1989 E34 M/T. The '93 has a sluggish engine compared to the 89'; yeah, surprised me ... since the '93 has 24V vs. the 12V on the '89. Also, the '93 interior has some parts broken (reat seat belt harness), missing ashtrays and a very dirty ceiling carpeting (don't know how it got crazy stained!). Too bad, esp. since the black leather interior is great! '89 was in good running condition, interior is worn, but mostly intact. What I like about it is the torque-y engine and smooth gearbox (according to my friend who test drove both). In short, I'm going to the '89 instead. Btw, wanted to check with you guys ... I believe the '89 doesn't have ABS rite? Anything else missing? One thing I noticed is the meter panels... the '93 has digital - but it's broken (missing chars/digits). vs. the '89 having analogue odo and such - which is also semi-broken as it's no longer running.
