How can I tell if my car has the Nürburgring Package? It is the first Euro 3.8 produced. Build date 7/91.
Thanks!!

I didn't think the Nurburgring/EDC option came until 95. ..I may be wrong.

Do you have an EDC switch next to your headlight switch ?

Complete leather (Komplettleder) is very rare, only 74 3.8s were built with that.
You can see what combinations that were available and how many built och each (scroll down a bit):
www.e34m5.se

The Nuerburgring-package was an option for the 3.8s from 92-94 and standard on the 1995s. Although the package did not include servotronic on the 1995.
Some people add the EDC-switch from the Nuerburgring-package on their non Nuerburgring cars. The package also contained a thicker rear stabilisator and 9x17 wheels, standard on the touring model, also available as a separate option for the saloon cars, as on your car (781).

What is the Nürburgring Package?
Though the Adaptive M Suspension was fitted to all 3.8-liter M5s, those produced before May of 1994 could be upgraded with the optional Nürburgring Package, named after the famous road course (and BMW proving ground) in north-west Germany. The package consisted of the following items:
-ZF Servotronic vehicle-speed sensitive power steering (also offered as an individual option)
-Thicker rear anti-roll bars (19mm on sedans, 20mm on Tourings)
-Wider 9x17-inch alloy wheels with 255/40ZR17 rear tires (already standard on the M5 Touring)
-A control switch for the Adaptive M Suspension, allowing the EDC shocks to be locked in to their firmest position.

This package was discontinued with the introduction of the six-speed E34 M5 in May of 1994, which featured the thicker rear anti-roll bars, staggered wheels (now in 18-inch form) and switchable shocks as standard equipment. However, the Servotronic steering assist remained an individual option.

NOTE: M5 Tourings produced before May of 1994 were equipped with a thicker 19mm rear anti-roll bar, also fitted to 3.8-liter M5 sedans equipped with the Nürburgring Package. M5 Tourings equipped with the Nürburgring Package were upgraded to a 20mm rear anti-roll bar. The 19mm rear bar became standard on all M5 sedans produced after May of 1994, at which point the 20mm rear bar became standard on all M5 Tourings.
