I think it would have front fogs and alloys if it were a lux.

fogs, but maybe not alloys, would have thourght the cab windscreen would fit as i have a spare touring one i keep for my cabby and it looks identical

Oi! I had my eye on this one but didnt wake up in time to have a bid!

Looks good though, Lux models had a bit of a random spec but most had pinstripes down the side (think I can see them in the pics) and the small heckspoiler was common. If you've got a 6 button OBC as well then it's probably a Lux.

Either way looks a good solid car for the money, well done!

Ring a BMW dealer and give them the VIN they'll tell you

Tidy car that got any plans?

cab screen will fit, but it will have the rear view mirror mount stuck on it.

Plan is to fit some new wings, address a few rust "issues" then spray both sides then i cant decide whether to go for old skool 15" bbs (RA's im not tha flush at the minute) and is splitter or whether to go for my teenage dream... *cough* 17" alpina reps and mtech 2 kit.

Dependant on how solid she is i may drop a 6pot in her at xmas.
