well it had to happen :lol: another one bought just a week after buying the Atlantis blue one .
had to get it as you dont see sierra red touring about and it a very nice spec of a car and has electric seats which i dont see in tourers that often and the premium sound set up


BMW 328i Touring auto

quick spec:

SE spec with interior light package, front and rear armrests, front fogs, dual zone aircon, trip computer, map lights etc.
Reversing sensors
Sports M double spoke wheels
Premium BMW sound system with ten speakers and CD multichanger
Sports airbag wheel
Headlamp wash
Roof rails
Retractable dog guard and load cover
Electric tan leather seats in really great condition with no rips.


bad bits

starting problems ( new crank and can sensor sorted that out)

would take ages to pull away and change gears , turns out some idiot had by passed the oil cooler and lost all the fluids



some of you might have seen it at gaydon but here it is for now until next year when it should be fully modified with a twist with luck as this year has been so busy and not had a chance to work on my own cars



Before

Nice 8) Liking the OEM+ style.

Particularly like the fact the you've kept the amber indicators.

Feeling something similar for my touring.
