its simple to tell the difference, but i only found out through this forum so
dont feel alone. the montronic injection has the distributor on the front of the head, and the distributor on jetronic is located on the block.

My 325 cab is from sept 86 ... has the early motronic.
But I thought all 325's had motronic ... smaller engines had L- jetronic

I remember reading PBMW when they had a 2.5 from an E30 put in their E21. Im certain this was L-Jetronic because I remember the fuel system similarity with my old Mk 3 XR3i :lol:
