Earlier 6's had drums on rear and no abs.

My 320i is a 1991 and has rear drums and no ABS.

looks like discs and abs was an optional extra?I would be surprised if anything with rear drums came with abs.My '89 320i coupe has rear drums too.

To be honest there is nothing wrong with rear drums,the only real problem is that they're more awkward to service.And of course there's no abs.

IIRC, the 320i had drums and no ABS, or discs with ABS. Tourings, as you say Graham, all had discs, irrespective of ABS fitment.

Nice one lads,excuse my ignorance but what does IIRC stand for?

[SGP]

Mines a 320iSE aswell(drums) bizarre. Drums are easy to work on. Dont mind them at all.

Quite simple. If you specified ABS on a non 325, non touring, non cab E30, then it came with rear discs. Otherwise it came with drums.

Welcome Zahir.
It could be that your car came with discs as standard. There are quite a few spec. differences between UK cars and SA ones.

Should add to this, that, if you insisted, and were prepared to wait and pay, you could have virtually anything added to or subtracted to the standard spec of any E30.
