Just got a new car.... a few questions.

[csphere]

I was in need of a car badly andI ended up with a 1985 535i. Its in good shape and I havn't even put it over 3000 rpm yet. First I have a couple questions. How much horsepower, and is it rear wheel or front wheel drive? I havn't been driving long so I wouldnt be able to tell from just driving it. If someone could just link me to a page with full statistics and dimensions and everything that would be awesome. Thanks!

Sorry, Dude, but the European version has 220 horsepower and 10 to 1 compression ratio.
The US version has 182 horsepower with 8 to 1 compression ratio.
There is no timing belt that you have to replace: life is good. These cars have a timing chain.
My next question is, do your gauges work? On-board computer? Does your service indicator flash constantly?
If you've got any problems with that stuff, let me know. I just fixed it all on my car.
I've had my 1985 535i for about three months now.
Welcome!

PS-It would really be cool if your car was an "M" car...
