Whats needed mechanically??

If its a post 6/87 model the 320 has rear discs, right!?

So I guess just a engine and gbox diff??

Any other suspension/bits needed (only a 40 kg diff between the two I'm told)

Cheers.

Been loads of threads on this!
320 saloon doesn't normally have rear discs, although they were an option.

Almost everything you can think of was an option on all E30s. You could double the price with the options list!

Yes, all tourings had discs all round and generally uprated suspension compared to saloons, except the 325 and iS, BUT he's only just mentioned it's a touring!
