someone was talking about this a while back as they were wanting to fit an m3 arch kit to their touring ,ive never seen one thats for sure and i dont really see the point in a 2 door touring anyway.if your buying a touring in the first place then surely youd be needing something with the 4 doors :? looks more like a hearse for carting away dead folks with that big rear window,bit odd looking :?

Definately looks more Mk1 Golf than E30 tourer
Did they nick the side windows from a Mk1 Escort Estate?
Doesn't look right at all to me.

Dip's still has it, and also has plans layed down for it :cool:

MK1 golf rear tailgate is what was used on them - also BMW didn't want to produce an "Estate" car on the E30 model for some reason but, a run of the mill BMW machanic took it upon his self to produce one from a 2 door coupe to show them the potential it had - ended up making 5 of them i do believe and it convinced BMW to push the boat out on the E30 range - this is what i've heared but may not be gospel.

I think that looks well smart, Maybe not in standard trim but the pic dips put up looks alot better and i think one of those could be made to look really cool.

i'm not overly keen on those wierd 2 door tourers as the lines don't quite look right but i reckon a hybrid (2 door saloon / touring bits) facelift 2 door tourer would look realy cool. especially with a M3 kit on :D

i think he's mistakenly added up the numerical order(1,2,3,4) that you listed as being the numbers left.but i still wouldnt have one,they just look odd and ugly :cry:

One of the Blue one is in Tottenham last i saw it - i doubt it would ever be used as a driver again as it's kept with kiddie gloves and is stashes away from public view lol.
