ABS was an option, look for the pump behind the headlights on passenger side.
My '87 320i did not have ABS.

Is it worth Ԛ£100.00, you dont think so, otherwise you would not be asking !!!

errr....MOT certificate, insurance details


it already has 3 months MOT

oh nad yeah, probabyl worth 100 notes so long as theres no holes that you can fit your fist through.

and if you take it for a quick spin just stamp on the brakes and see if they lock, should be easy enough in this weahter

If it has ABS it will have rear disc brakes, 320i's didn't have discs without ABS.

My 1990 320i has rear discs yet no abs!

If the lump is good it is worth the Ԛ£100. I just wish I'd seen it before I bought a mate a Nissan Bluebird for Ԛ£150 as a runaround.

Have they been retro-fitted ?

Rear discs weren't an option on any e30 but had to be fitted if ABS was specced.

I decided not to bother with it.

I cant be arsed with another breaker at the moment.

I did tell the guy to visit th zone to flog it so you might see a silver 320i in the FS section soon.
