someone was talking about this a while back as they were wanting to fit an m3 arch kit to their touring ,ive never seen one thats for sure and i dont really see the point in a 2 door touring anyway.if your buying a touring in the first place then surely youd be needing something with the 4 doors :? looks more like a hearse for carting away dead folks with that big rear window,bit odd looking :?

Definately looks more Mk1 Golf than E30 tourer
Did they nick the side windows from a Mk1 Escort Estate?
Doesn't look right at all to me.

Better looking than an Austin Allegro estate though.

Dip's still has it, and also has plans layed down for it :cool:

MK1 golf rear tailgate is what was used on them - also BMW didn't want to produce an "Estate" car on the E30 model for some reason but, a run of the mill BMW machanic took it upon his self to produce one from a 2 door coupe to show them the potential it had - ended up making 5 of them i do believe and it convinced BMW to push the boat out on the E30 range - this is what i've heared but may not be gospel.

I think that looks well smart, Maybe not in standard trim but the pic dips put up looks alot better and i think one of those could be made to look really cool.

i'm not overly keen on those wierd 2 door tourers as the lines don't quite look right but i reckon a hybrid (2 door saloon / touring bits) facelift 2 door tourer would look realy cool. especially with a M3 kit on :D

i think he's mistakenly added up the numerical order(1,2,3,4) that you listed as being the numbers left.but i still wouldnt have one,they just look odd and ugly :cry:

One of the Blue one is in Tottenham last i saw it - i doubt it would ever be used as a driver again as it's kept with kiddie gloves and is stashes away from public view lol.

wot sort of engines did they come with. You wouldn't want to have to put a quarter pannel on one don't think the local dealer would have one lyin out the back
