88 no cat Touring. I thought 86-87 only had the high compression.
This site: http://home.netpower.no/pberg/Mahle_m20.html shows through 89. Any markings etc to tell w/o disasembly?
Thanks

It certainly looks like the high compression, Pretty sure there is no way of telling without stripping it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

that site is superb for info but its not intended to be gospel, damn good guide though
easiest way to check is run the engine number with a dealer or BMW HQ, they can give you the definative answer you're looking for dude
