1990 300e vs 1989 300e

Can anyone tell me the main differences between the 2? Mostly I'm interested in reliability/mechanical. Not body/cosmetics.

I have a 89 300e, just thinking about buying a 90 300e.

thanks in advanc

No difference at all, same engine and tranny. Minor cosmetic differences.

There's one significant mechanical difference - 1990 was the first year of the air pump.

Hmm yes I think I also see a valve in the header near the cylinder head, looks like a sensor of some sort, I thought I saw the wire going to it like a spark plug wire size.
