    Next time you're in the car...look down at your gear shift handle and take a look at the letters and numbers next to the lever. If it reads PRND321...this means your transmission is a 4-speed...drive, 3rd, 2nd, & 1st.

    If it reads PRND432 ...then your transmission is a 5-speed.

    the e34 535 auto in the usa (i can't speak for the rest of the world) only came with a ZF 4hp-22eh which is a 4 speed od with a lock up torque converter, there was 2 different computer control systems, a early and late the early selected sport mode from the switch by the shifter (E S M) and the late you select sport by putting it in 3rd and the switch only selects auto or manual
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
