Is there a similar list for the 318i Lux Convertible? There's only the 318i Lux 2 door listed in the link above.

Also a bit of a dumb question coming up, but being a newbie with my e30, how can you tell whether or not your car has ABS - aside from wrapping it around a tree when doing 50mph at a braking distance of 20 feet?

Cheers

it'll have all round discs and an abs pump in the front right corner of the engine bay

also the abs light will illuminate when you start the car and go out (if its working!!)

Where'd this link come from? It shows 316, 318 and 320 Tourings as having rear drums, or does it mean that you could have drums as an option, rather than the standard discs?

I'm guessing it wouldn't have been a popular one!

On the touring, there was a rear blind available, and rear blinds for the rear doors on touring and 4 door.

Rear electric windows is a nice one Gareth, yours truly fitted them to your touring 8)

Shut up! :lol:

There's a switch in the handle, you pull it up, and it would heat up your frozen lock! :mad:
