As far as I know they will Dan, I think they're pretty much the same, bumped into anyone interesting in the services recently? :D

That still does my head in now, at 5.30am, I bump into a Zoner, in a Motorway Services, what are the odds of that!

Yes, rear disks and pads are the same size as all e30 disk brakes, so will fit under 14in bottletops! It's just the piston in the calliper is very slightly larger on tourings.
cheers,
