A 240d is an engaging car to drive if in good condition and a stick.....especially so with the aluminum wheel cover style wheels and the little 175r14 tires (which are getting very hard to find).
I am thinking of keeping Pancakes as a 240d and installing a 358 diff for a little better economy....or perhaps a 346.
