16v model year differences



Don't give Daun any ideas -- he drove my '90 325i this weekend and swears 
he's buying one now.  That engine is just Buttah.

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.
