Congratulations on picking up a 94 854T....After owning my 94 854T for only a short month I have decided to part with it...Instead I will be starting a new project. a 1997 855/m58 awd turbo. Too good of a deal to pass up and am excited for the tranny. 1 of 214 ever made..wooohooo

oh... mine just says 850 turbo and its a wagon. weird... and i feel that this car is going to be a long time friend for me. cant wait to do some diy stuff to it. i'll be doing the 140k service myself. timing belt, water pump, plugs, probably pcv too. then go for a LONG DRIVE. im really looking forward to the reliablilty that owners rave about.
