    I'm sure someone will check me on this but I think you can install one if you wish even if your car ('90) didn't have it.
    I put one in a '90 E32 that never had it or perhaps it was removed and not replaced???

    Instructions are here http://www.e38.org/e32/
    E32 and E34 is the same system. Oficially it was introduced in 06/1990, but better check it out, as some were equipped later.
