Galvanised, just like the iS dontyaknow.
Thats right. Although there was a batch of white is's that had scuttle issues.

What about a batch of '90 325i Tourings that had the rare '4 speed getriebeschaden' option? That was a rare option where you only have 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th. A special ECU measures the gearbox oil temp and allows periodical engagement of third.

Speed of the bullet was the only super power that left Superman dissatisfied, what he really sought was speed of the i.s. It troubled his super sleep.
