'97 E34 touring? I thought even in Europe production ceased in June 1996?

What you have is the basic multi-function clock. Must be a parts-bin car to have the automatic climate control and not the OBC. Leftovers from the last months of production?

I think tourings get produced later on perhaps ? Unless it was bought in 1997. I know that the 3 series cabrios get on the market a year or so later than the new coupe models.

Manufacture date is in the driver's door sill.

Welcome amongst us !

what you took a picture of is the ob-C- not to be confused with ob-D- which is the engine control computer's diagnostic computer.

just thought that with that someone whold know if it where or where nott but well i found the information =))
the guy who sold it to me said that the touring model is going to 1997 so must be one the last one produced.

but now i have a new question...
where is the amplfier/crossover if there is one.....are there an cross over/amp in all of the e34 models?

Later amps are active x-overed and more than 4 channels amplification... so you either start over from scratch building you own passive xovers, (or new 3 way set and passives) + amplification, or leave it alone.
