WBSAK050601891681

Can some tell me if this E30 M3 is a Jap spec with the overdrive transmission?
Or is this one with the Dogleg transmission?

I know they made some AK050 Jap spec.

Thanks

ETK says it's a European M3, built in Jan. '87.

Yeah i looked on ETK but all the Jap built ones seem to be made in European and on ETK they just say Europe.This is a chassis number for a Jap Spec one 1893400 and this says Europe. Its a bit confusing.

VIN decoder shows the VIN in your last post as having the 807 Jap. option, but no mention of this in the list for the VIN in your OP. ( http://bimmer.work/ )
