Hi all, long time no post.

Does a 320 touring manual have discs on the rear, and vented front brakes?

Will it have ABS, cc etc also?

It's got BBSs from the factory if that tells you anything!

Sorry i can't provide any more information, apart from perhaps a reg number if that's of any use which i doubt it is.

Look forward to being enlightened.

Cheers

It will have rear discs, all touring and cabby's have rear disc brakes no matter what engine size :)

It will have vented fronts and rear discs, all tourings do... ABS is a question though, my 320 touring does not have this.

The only tourings with rear drums are the oil burners.
ABS will depend on what was specified by the original purchaser.

Works every bit as well as that on more modern cars in my opinion, in spite of only being three channel.

I presume it's single channel for the rear? To be honest most modern systems still are!

Collecting my next E30 on friday and looking forward to seeing what spec it is. No doubt going to modify it suitably.

How long can i last with 12v wrongness? :mad:
