    They both have the Aus' delivered, German built, BBS wheels, the difference in trim is just a facelift and prefacelift happened sometime in '96, there will be a few different touches all around the place, engine wise a different throttle body is the main difference also the ECU is a bit different the later model has a diagnostic port next to the ash tray behind a hidden panel, and the engine cover no longer lied about being DOHC as it's not a straight six. People often refer to the older one as OBD I and the newer OBD II, it's not 100% correct but at least it's something to go off if you want to find out about the differences.

    South African ones came with 5 spoke wheels that I believe also came on early German ones, like '92, '93 that we didn't get, same specs as the BBS we got, I doubt yours would be SA it would have had to be imported and people dont generally bother importing cars if they can get the same thing here, and private imports from South Africans moving here would be pretty rare.
