should my 1990 320i touring have rear discs (it has got them

[dobbie82]

I was just browsing the spec of the car in the articles section and it states that the 320i had drums

I bought some brake pads for it but they are the wrong ones, just wondering if someone has done a conversion or something.

its a 320i but it has the se skirts, headlamp washwipe, electric windows, electric sunroof, the check computer above the mirror.
etc etc were rear brake discs an option?

Rear discs came as standard on M20 tourings.

[ad318i]

think they were standard for all tourings, i got them on my 316i, it doesnt mention them on my options sheet, and Realoem only lists disc brakes for the touring

Same on the cab's, extra weight needs extra stopping power.

ahh ok thanks.. just showing my ignorance

its the motorfactors that have given me the wrong ones then, but my other half has an annoying habit of ripping boxes open so i cant take them back

All tourings have rear discs, vented front discs and 52mm front struts.
Far superior machines to saloons!
All E30 rear disc pads are the same, so if you asked for pads for an E30 or a 3 series touring of the appropriate age, then it's their mistake, so take 'em back.

Yeah i asked for 1990 G 320i touring rear pads, I ordered tonnes of stuff (dizzy, rotor, front and rear pads, handbrake cables, plugs, filters etc etc) so they knew which car cos all the other bits are right.

may take them back next time i am in kendal even if i can just find what they are really for I can eBay them!

Probably E36 rears.
