OK - I have the Euro parts fiche.  Which components would you expect
to have changed?

I've got the "Fahrwerk" microfiche in the reader - "running gear".

The "Bodenfreiheit" (ground clearance) is given as 125mm for _all_
models - from the 1980 to the 1991 20V.  The suspension setup is
also identical across all model years.

The parts fiche is fun.  The front coil spring was 811 411 105N
until 85-E-900328.  After that, it's 853 511 115C for vehicles
without air conditioning, and 857 411 105B for vehicles with a/c.

I can't see any other major changes.
