[s-cars] "Silver Euro S4 91"

[Dave Forgie]

Sean (and Krists):  If there were any "M" VIN S4s I am guessing that they would have to be early build/prototype/press test cars that were made available in early August 1991.   I bet that they got new transmissions early on (after all the press testing - many 4000 to 6000 RPM clutch dump starts - Yikes!!).

I don't doubt your resources either. Also the VIN in ETKA says "M"
meaning 1991 model year. Perhaps a few squeaked by as a 1991 m.y.

Hopefully Kristst can check his VIN and see if it says "M" or "N".

As a side note, my 1990 90q20v is an early 1989 build date, has the "L"
in the VIN, therefore called a "1990" but the owners manual supplied
with the car says 1989 - weird.
