320i touring project

[marmont]

Straightened, decurbed and powdercoated another set of style 5 r15 for summer tyres. Don't know if I will be happy with colour and finish once they will installed on the car. Probably need to paint lip in silver. What colour everyone use for silver lips on these wheels?

Welcome! My 1988 Touring also has the "luxurious suspended ceilings." Too funny. Cory

That's very annoying to be honest. Overall interior condition is too rough. Nobody cared really about how it feel and look inside. Kinda sad. But slowly step by step I will get it done maybe not up to new factory condition, but at least to acceptable. Отправлено с моего Redmi Note 8 Pro через Tapatalk

Nice, always love a good touring thread. Great color to have too!

It's actually not oem e30 colour. Some kind of customized e36 blue colour. Will repaint it this summer into mauritius blue probably. And with same blue design edition interior. Someone's touring from here maybe. =)

Let me know if you have anything and interested to swap parts, I will send you some pictures of steering wheel.

So, decided to register and add my 320i touring as well. Got bored just reading another members stories and viewing nice pictures. I am from Europe(Riga,Latvia)
t's a lot easier to buy touring here than in US. But mostly all of e30 are kinda heavily rusted out. But fortunately this story won't be about one of these cars.

All in all, this e30 started his life a long time ago. In 1991 to be exact. And still not a single part of it's body was touched by welding torch which is more than incredible.
Considering it's life circle through rough and salty winters. It was born with weak m20b20 engine inside, but previous owner added some muscles to this wagon installing 2.7l m20 stroker inside.

Despite being in good overall condition, the interior was used as per wagon status for sure. Especially boot compartment. Moreover, it has luxurious suspended ceilings. Hopefully will sort out interior by this summer.
Overall equipment is also pretty good for selfish-equiped European cars comparing to US cars.
It has following extras:
1.Air conditioner
2. All 4 electric windows and sunroof
3.Heated seats
4.Dog net in trunk
5. 5pcs r15 style 5 with all caps
6. mt2 steering wheel
















Stay tuned...
