Again, thanks for the information. Your coding description was very concise and easy to follow, is there a way to identify the transmission (seems there's a big fuss about that on the forum in some spots).
I will let you know what happens with the little 190. I still have not purchased the car, as I was waiting for responses on here and a couple local sources.
Don't forget I'm a BMW guy too

, so you're M3 comment could spark some smart retort from such a poor soul, haha. It's still a German engineered automobile though, so I'll relent.
Thanks once again,
Steve
