940 16 valve wagon? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris on  Sat Apr 9 03:57 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi, Chris from down under again with my smashed b230FK 945s.
Probably not looking at BMWs anymore.
Today I discovered a leak from the gasket where the turbo meets the exhaust manifold. None of the bolts that I could get a spanner onto seemed loose so I presume the gasket is knackered. These turbo engines whilst generally quite reliable seem to be a pain in the rear when it comes to working on them with poor access, too many pipes and fiddly extra bits especially when unmodified it has a worse power to weight ratio than the normally aspirated version.
Since I can't find or at least haven't seen one advertised yet 965 or V90 in Australia perhaps I should try to find one of those also rare 16 valve wagons. Does anyone have an opinion on them?
I can't think of another safe seven seat wagon available in Australia with a 9.8 metre turning circle and I might ad that once you get used to that every other car seems lacking.

Cheers,

Chris
