i can. my piddly little 2 litre eats them for breakfast

tourings have the same suspension as the 'is' so handling will be very similar. good tourings can be had cheap. i paid Ã‚£1200 for my 80000 mile 325 touring with lsd, leather interior ,1 year T+T and that was from a dealer. they tend to rust less as well and with the touring i find it easier to bundle bodys into the boot to bury in the woods at night.

Fuzzy, did all tourings had the same suspension as the iS? Not that it matters as I've changed it all now anyway.............

this is very true, but speaking as the new owner of an m60 i have to say the 8 cylinder is the very best sound to come out of the "motherland"
