Trim · 1978–1989 · M30B34
Output varied by market and model year across the M90/M30B34/M30B35 engines. Not yet sourced per variant: a single figure here would be a guess, so the field stays empty.
The generation spans 1450–1619 kg across all trims and markets; the figure for this specific trim has not been sourced. A range cannot be stored in a single PropertyValue.
Estimated as 0.85 × width × height = 0.85 × 1.725 m × 1.365 m ≈ 2.00 m², the standing approximation described on the methodology page. Not a measured figure.
