thanks ... ny car is 1991ix on the cover of the e30 manual i saw it didnt say the 1991 year or the ix model is it still the right one?

yeah I've always wondered why 91' is not included in the bentley manual. I know that there were some updates on that year right before they transitioned to e36 but I don't see how it could be majorly different.

Sorry, don't have that in my collection.

Because the 91 has the M42 motor used in the E36 models. It is the only E30 with that motor.
