No - not that 'special' as such.
Was a grey market import back when pretty new. German model (2.8L - so a 'low end' model actually).

Nice that it has the small bumpers and staggered headlights (US models had the 4 reflectors the same size - here the outside ones are larger than the inbd ones). And - a 5 speed.
Also has German ventilation controls. Need to study up on that... lol.

While I was not in the market for a car like this - the condition and (relative) rarity stood out above it being 'just' an early 7 series. Really fun to have. And - with working AC and conformable interior -a very usable 'near' classic I can use on a regular basis.
