Nice work, great looking car, sadly Tourings were never sold in Australia (until E36) so I have never seen one "in the flesh". Best looking small wagon around IMO, would love to own one.
What about engine and interior...you probably need a couple more cylinders too winkeye winkeye

Hi all, im based in bristol i race in Production BMW and my friend was going to prep this Touring for 2010.He had a change of plans so i bought it off him.
Its got bilstien b8's , my old custom race springs(quite hard),poly bushes,ebc pads,eye brows winkeye .
There are a few bits i want to tidy up on it, and yes a bit more power or a few more cylinders would be nice .
Thanks for the comments guys :D

Engineless car again at the mo, no money after paying for a wedding and honeymoon, and to add to it all works slow meaning long hours with no reward!

One year has to be lucky for me! I spend so much more time working on the series than driving in it, its not funny!

The sport once done will be my daily hack short term once done
