16v model year differences
Don't give Daun any ideas -- he drove my '90 325i this weekend and swears

PS: Speaking of top speeds:
Top speed for the E30 325i Sedan is published at around 214-220
km/h = 133 - 136mph.
VW claimed 208 km/h (129 mph) for the KR 139hp 16V. Motor Trend
observed 218km/h on the speedo (135 mph).
Car & Driver achieved a measured top speed of 124mph (200km/h)
The 8V topped out around 110mph.
