What Yr. 635csai to Buy: '87, '88 or '89 (archive)

I am searching to purchase a 635csi (5 spd.) and so far have been focusing my search on '87 - '89. I have a few questions that might help me differentiate the features by year:

> '87=3430cc @ 182 bhp / '88-89 =3430cc @ 208 bhp
> L6-automatic only? only offerred in '87?
> Did all years '87-'89 come standard with TRX wheels
> Was there a factory option for US 15" or 16" wheels
> ABS brakes on '87 and later only?
> Driver's airbag -'88-89 only??
> What years and model packages included rear spoiler?
> Self-leveling rear suspension ('88-89 only)
> What was the "Highline" package...offerred what yrs?
> 7 series power steering '88-89
> Did all '88-89 use painted bumper trim to match body?
>Did all 635csi come standard with "comfort" seats?
>What year/model variants of 635 use "sport" seats

Based on these differences, is one year considered "better" than others?

Is the hp difference between '87 and '88-'89 noticably different in terms of drivability?

Thanks,

Jonathan
