Do a VIN check on line, it will tell you if its manual and also the designation of the tranny.
My 525 24V manual touring (stationwagon) has S5D 310Z the same as the S50B30US M3 "95 model. Very sweet drive.
Oh on the big grill. Keep the narrow grill!. Its nicer, the big grill makes the car look like a 7-series while the small grill looks more like a 3-series. Nicer when you come up quickly behind an E46 318 on the highway!.... he thinks "oh E30 only, I will show him ", you keep up and eventually take him at 220Kph, bye bye.
If you spot a big grill, then no fun la. 318 guy will think "oh sh*t, here comes a 735, better get out of the way. Or is this the kind of respect you want to command ?.
If the car is well kept, buy it! You will not get another chance for years to come.

Sure thing fellows. The purpose of the board is to help one another. I enjoy doing this and is participating in the US bimmer.info E34 board. Made some great friends there including an Australian "Big Kris". Nice bloke who seems hooked on "Trackdays" in Wakefield.
I know the feeling.
I hope to get some english speaking germans to participate in that board. But as the internet is Global, there is a spainard there (not Alonso), several UK guys, a few jolly australians and a couple of kiwis who contributed regularly. I think I am the only Asian there.
Check that out:
