	for somereason I'm drawn to BMW tourings, ive seen the following car on ebay and ive got a few qoutes for it and theyve come back at a decent price. just wondering what they're like on pertol, what wheel choices are they're out there, how easy/cheap to lower. i think parts would be expensive so what goes wrong with em?? ive posted the link to the ebay advert ive been looking at just incase u want a look see RESERVE_W0QQitemZ140054880098QQihZ004QQcategoryZ9837QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting oh and any pics u may have of modded ones would be great, saw one on tuningmania on men and motors that was used for a drift car, looked ace.

	This is what I wanted to ask but felt like i'd taxed the board too much already! Looking towards one too after 'asking the audience'. Sounds like they are decent. Tourings apparently weigh 90kg more than saloons, 325's are thirsty, 318's offer 118 or summat BHP, do tourings come in 318is flavour? one bloke online said that his 318is saloon is like a less powerful M3! what about 320's are they the duff card? www.bmworg.ru/img/cars/e30_touring_056_1.jpg dualfun.emdia.fi/touring/night/images/DSC08150.jpg ooof again! So whats the going rate for a nice one, and how many miles would it of done?

	Nope. No 318iS wagon was made. So if it's speed you want you'll have to get a 2.5. And shares in BP to go with it. 320 is too thirsty given it's performance, and the 318i be OK, but again a bit sluggish. Did they do a 316 version? That would be grim motoring if they did.

	Nice one Pog, great info. 318 it would be then. that extra weight and 11?bhp, I wouldn't expect it to be much more spritely than my CVH Sapph then. How come the 318is is so powerful? Whats the best flavour in E36 then anyone know, or are they not as good. they look quite smart.

	318Is is powerful as its 16v and has 136bhp instead of the 318i which is 8v and has abot 105bhp. E36 in my opinion is nowhere as near as good in my opinion as its bloody heavy in comparison and don't look as good. Not as fun to drive either and the e36 318Is is abou a second slower 0-60 than the e30 318Is Heres a guy I speak to's tourer. its got a 3.2 evo engine. 320bhp or summat. Been in it and its hellova fast!

	so are 318i not really worth entertaining??? I'm not too bothered about the speed of it for now, just fancy a chance form the mini and something that i don't have to worry about as much would be nice
