Sounds like you got your oil leak straightened out. That's good.
My '86 745T has the red colored grid on the rear window.

I don't think my accelerator pedal is hard to push. But I am usually driving a 140 that has a very stiff pedal.

I hate the cruise control. In the 22 years I've owned this 745, I bet I've used the cruise less than 20 times. It drives me nuts the way it surges.
I think it's the nature of the beast. At 70 mph or so, the turbo is in the "sweet spot" (mine is a M46 gearbox). It accellerates real quick to make up speed and then backs off just as quick. Very annoying, that's why I don't use the cruise.
