thought it was time for a new motor. still got the e30 in the garage. started looking at e30 tourings then i actually bought a e36 328 touring but it had a broken wire in the engine loom so i brought it back. then i bought this. nice car.

These are probably my favorite BMW touring of all time, the shape looks just right.
You got a nice colour too

thanks guys. im 40 next month and thought it was time to buy a grown up motor insteed keep messing around with old sh!tters. im sure id get away with blagging it as a sport anywhere exept here but unfortunatly its an SE with the nice sport bumpers. im going to change the wheels. these ones are loverly but prone to cracking. id love to buy some genuine bbs's but my buget will only stretch to some snide ones.

Nice touring! If its on run flats still then lose them to reduce the chance of cracking the 19's.

Does it have standard or sport suspension? This will also influence the chances of cracking.

So what is it? 330i, 325i?

Nice - very purposeful looking chariot. Good colour too.

i was clearing out the shed today and gave my style 5's a wipe over. i think im going to get them on for winter. i didnt think about the run flats causing the cracks, good thinking. its a 325i. i de badged it as i thought anything less than the 3.0 was lame. its juicy. im driving like miss daisy and getting 30/31mpg. i like the colour too. its quite big too. miss judged the kerb today and damaged a rear wheel

Hi, i'm a colour geek

Sweet ride, I really like the moredoor 3 series too. Smart wheels, shame they can curb up nicely (as you discovered)

lol i dont even know what colour it is. im going to be giving the kerbs a wide berth from now on.

Should tell you in the drivers door-shut my friend. Anyway, I paint cars and do lots of jobs for our local Stratstone stealer... Let me pretend thats the reason why I may know; more than sheer geekery!
