    Just thought I'd say howdy. I currently am driving an '89 740T Wagon on
    a daily basis, and just bought (or will tomorrow) a '95 850 Sedan. The
    850 has 191,000 mi. on it, and everything appears to function as
    designed. For 500 bucks, I don't think I can go too far wrong. A friend
    is a local Euro parts importer, so that helps too.
    Any particular things I should be wary of on the 850? I don't know the
    timing belt history, so that is #1 on the list.
    Downside on the Sedan is that it's an automatic. The 740 has the M46.
    Thanks for your time.

    The recommendation for these gearboxes, which should use Fully Synthetic
    ATF, is every 100,000 miles

    All the best, Peter.
