For the 1990 model year the picture indicates it's a 745 GLE as that was the only variant with such wheel trims. All 1990 year models had a similar facelifted front end except the '740 GLT', and the '740 Turbo' which had a different headlight lens that extended to the grill. From the GL up they all came with the spec you mentioned (whatever that was!).
Looking at the picture again I see it doesn't have a lambda symbol on the grill. If it hasn't fallen off the engine will be a B230E not the B230F (catalyser), but the VIN and other codes will reveal all. If you can find them Depo replacement indicator lens are a good substitute. Currently GSF have one side (can remember which) and are good value especially on their 40% off days. There are still a number of facelift cars around in some breakers, but the numbers are falling dramatically. Looks a car well worth the investment. Bob.

It's not a 745GLE, or a B230 engine - it's a 740 TD with the B24T engine I've no idea if the wheels (alloys, not plastic trims) are original to this particular car or not, but I think they suit it The plan is to get them refurbished at some point as there's a small amount of alloy corrosion around the edges (though little kerbing, thankfully). Aside from a few parking dings it's a remarkably sound old beast. As soon as the weather improves I'm planning on using a load of cavity wax and dinitrol to ensure the condition doesn't deteriorate Thanks for the heads-up on the GSF lamp, I'll wait and see if I get another weekend discount code tomorrow |

I didn't consider the 740 Turbo Diesel as I am a petrol man! Yup that most certainly came with the D24T engine. Me thinks that the wheels were non standard either as an optional extra, or swapped at sometime.
