My new 89 325.



Well I am now a BMW owner.  Thank you to all the people who emailed opinions and experience about e30s.  And lots of thanks to the Poertners for an awesome weekend (and a test drive of Ian's M roadster).I am now can now deliver pizza in style.  
And now for the questions. . .
I.  Could someone with an 89 325 tell me what his or her steering wheel looks like?  The owners manual indicates that I have an airbag but the steering wheel doesn't seem to agree.  It is a 3 spoked wheel with the two horizontal spokes shaped sorta like propeller blades (I wonder where that comes from? . . .kidding of course).  There is a horn button that can be popped out of the middle of the wheel.  I think this vehicle was in an accident at some point because of broken fan blades and a chewed up radiator (which has already been replaced.)
II.  What are the thoughts on changing the R12 to R134 since the a/c needs fixing anyway?  I noticed Bavarian auto has a reciever/drier conversion kit. . .?  I need a/c right now, so I will probably just have an a/c shop do it, but should I just stick with R-12 for now?
III.  Was there ever a 4 door 325is?  Because I seem to have one that is badged an 'is'.  What was the difference between i and is?
thats all for now,
Thanks
