In the past, I have owned and worked on two 91 200TQ 20v sedans. Since then I went through a Volvo 850 turbo, na Acura Legend, a Lexus ES300, a BMW 525 and now have a BMW 540 6speed. All nice cars, but with a move to Salt Lake City, I decided to get another 200 TQ for the turbo and AWD.
Just found one with 120K miles, one owner and it looks pretty nice. After driving it from Seattle, to salt Lake, I realize that it has some common issues. Wobbly speedo, frozen rear calipers, uneven idle, no wiper washer fluid, window and door wiring issues, no heated seats, etc. I will start working on the issues, and will probably have lots of questions. I do have a set of Bentleys and Chris Miller's web site for guidance. Hopefully, I can add to the list as well as take.
