So with a baby on the way thought I'd better get a suitable daily.
It's an E36 323i Sport Touring Auto in Techno Violet, factory Mtec suspension and kit. Bargain at £800.
On the way home from picking it up I stopped off for some staggered 17" M3 Contours that I think set it off really well

Looks very nice, I'm on the lookout for another E36 as a daily and will be going touring route

Cheers for the comments guys. I originally wanted the motorsport M3 wheels but glad I chose these now, much rarer too as they only came on the 4 door M3.
Kangman, it's lashing it down now, I'm in Northampton hotelling it for Pod tomorrow. Horrendous drive down having to do 50 at some points due to uber amounts of standing water. Aquaplaning everywhere. Turns out Pilot Sports aren't all they're cracked up to be

Bought it mostly for the colour to be honest haha.
E30 is just waiting for a free weekend and good weather to finish off the front suspension then it's off to the bodyshop for resto and paint

Good looking car these Sport-wagons
I had a manual 323i Touring a couple of years ago - lovely smooth drive and went well enough just not as effortless as a 328i.
