I have a 83 240D auto, and with a little sage advice and assistance of whunter, the car runs like a Swiss watch and has enough pep to do everything except possibly tow another car on a trailer. The only slow period I felt was during a bitterly cold winter, when the 240D was a little slow at - 5 Fahrenheit, until it warmed to full operating temp. Then it was fine.

Just my opinion. Love the car, am also looking for a 240 manual, maybe a dead one from a dry climate. Now I have a building so I can store and repair.
