I have a 89 300e, just thinking about buying a 90 300e.

My 91 300E, which has been VERY well maintained, will be up for sale in about a week - you might want to check it out. PM me if you're interested and want a preview.
The main difference, I believe, is styling. IIRC, 90 and newer have the more modern looking lower body cladding with chrome strip. Some prefer the older body bumpers, but those look somewhat dated next to the newer style. Also, I believe the interior leather has an updated look. Beyond that, I don't think there are any major mechanical differences, other than possibly 1st-gear start transmission on some models and possibly a different rear end ratio.
