Credit to you

Very fine car.

Most impressive.

Smoked fronts?.

Out of interest mate, how much have you spent on the beauty?. In terms of cash and time.

Cheers Gareth.

awesome looking touring, has to be one of the best

get that engine bay wiring sorted !!!!
Looks good sandy (appart from wiring !) love the wheels.
After seeing those on there im despirately trying to source 5 stud stuff !!
Are they the e39 wheels ? and what size tyres you running on ? I think i'd maybe go for another set of fronts on the back to stop the rubbing.

I know, I've not attempted fitting that box again!

They are RC035's and 038's which I think are from an E34. They are 17x8 and 17x9.

I have another set that needs polishing which are RC090's from an E39, they are 8" all round but the centre hole is apparently larger so would need spigot rings.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:43 pm

I spent a whole day getting that wiring in that box !!!! It can be done !
Yeah i've heard the centre bore is slightly bigger but there's definately spigot rings available for them,i've seen them about.
Keep me in mind if you sell on those ones you got on there

.
What size tyre is on the back ? I think it needs 1drop down in profile and it may fit with out rubbing.

thats one sexy touring. the drop looks perfect.

A+ 10/10

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:45 pm

The best touring on the site in my opinion, style and speed. Loving every aspect of it, a true beauty. Awesome colour too.

Great effort making it what it is today

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:49 pm

I've bought an E34 540i so It will be getting one of the sets buster.

They're 235 x 40's. I think the next set I'll get will be either 225s or 215s. Most of the rubbing is related to the (m3) soft suspension. I plan to get uprated touring stuff to stiffen it up a bit.

Is your ECU under the drivers side dash?

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:52 pm

nope,it wont fit in that wiring cover with it going over that way so i had to put it over to the passenger side instead.
It lives in the glove box now :

As you can see i made a barrier sort of cornered it off so that anything put in there cant jam up on the ecu.

I tried 235x40x17's tyres on the back before and they rubbed badly up in the arch,not on the lip.If a 235x35 existed i think it would be ok.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:54 pm

Bugger!

I'll have another look over the winter months!

Mon Dec 11, 2006 2:20 pm

That has got to be one of the most perfect e30's I have seen. A quality motor mate.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 4:11 pm

Looking amazing as always! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh again.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 4:21 pm

Very impressed

Mon Dec 11, 2006 4:24 pm

Absolutely love it mate.... well done for sticking with it .

Mon Dec 11, 2006 5:34 pm

Genuinely stunning. Congratulations.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:17 pm

That is a seriously awesome Touring - hats off.

Especially like the wau that it looks factory, you could have gone mental but kept it tasteful.

Did you have to put 5 stud hubs on there?

Mon Dec 11, 2006 8:10 pm

Amazing

Mon Dec 11, 2006 8:54 pm

Mon Dec 11, 2006 9:08 pm

Looks superb Sandy

Mon Dec 11, 2006 9:45 pm

thats a proper e30. stunning.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 9:48 pm

That is fanfarkintastic!

It's a touring masterpiece. I'm sure it goes just as well as it looks.

Tempting me to get rid of the headlamp washwipes off my touring.

Don't friggin leave it anywhere where someone might take a fancy to it and nick it. That badge on the back might attract wrong sort of attention. Good job you're a long way from Glasgow eh? In certain parts of Saaarf Lundurn, where I used to live, that would go missing if you parked it half an hour.

Mon Dec 11, 2006 10:04 pm

Awesome Sandy.
