    The Bosch system has a vaccuum pump on the back of the left side of the engine.

    The changeover was sometime after the changeover to Motronic 5.2.

    1996 should be 2.7 with Teves/ATE

    I guess the switch to 5.2 must have been late 96. The wiring diagrams don't mention the 5.2 until 1997.

    My 1996 355 had Teves ABS. A buddy's 1997 has Bosch ABS. The way to easily tell is the picture that Ian posted above.

    And to show it's clear as mud my 97 spider is Teves. It probably happened in 97 when they ran out of Teves they converted.
