Hello all, so on Sunday I became the proud owner of a 1990 325i Touring with a 325i rusty saloon thrown into the deal! I drove the Touring back & the saloon is being delivered on Sunday.
I need to buy a couple of parts this week so while I'm here I may as well ask & get the ball rolling!
Are the sills on a Touring the same as on a 4 door saloon because many online places don't mention the estate just giving a 2 door or 4 door option? Also are the front suspension wishbones the same and dampers as need those too.
Also need a good Tailgate!
Al the best, Matt from Lincoln.

Hi Matt, welcome to the Zone. Looks like a very nice touring you have there. Can you share more pictures - we all like a good nosey.

Thanks, I love it, and surprisingly so does the Mrs! So it's a keeper. I'll put more photos up later. Going to get it resprayed either in the original colour or possibly a Silver Grey Metallic. Just waiting to hear back from the body shop for a price.

Looks like Sterling Silver the same as mine. I am biased of course but the silver does suit the shape in all light conditions - less work than a colour change as well.

Very clean coupe mate! If I change the colour to silver grey metallic I won't be going as far as spraying the engine bay I'm afraid, I know that will make some people scream in anger but the bay doesn't bother me if I'm just going with a different shade of silver. If I was going black or blue then that would be different, so the price shouldn't be to different......I hope.

Black one delivered today! Going to sell this when I figure out what she's worth. Engine & gearbox is great but needs Sills, wings, arches! Interior is great too.
