Theme Tuesdays: E30 Tourings

Apr 20, 2010

After the E30 M3 Theme Tuesday I basically had to do this one. A lot of you were looking out for this so hopefully you enjoy the group I was able to pull together for this.

I want a Touring really bad now, this is not a good thing (financially).

e30touring13 — Starting things off with a stock height flares removed ix touring on RMS

e30touring1 — Subtle mods here, notice the 5 lug swap though

e30touring5-m50 — Euro weaves, burnouts and m50s ftw

e30touring12 — Getting sideways on Alpinas

e30touring7 — Whats the proper pronunciation of Hartge anyone know?

e30touring6 — Fairly sure these are Kerscher kicks (edit: OZ Futuras)

e30touring4 — Borber Type A Onslaught forthcoming

e30touring11 — Mtech Kit + Touring + Borbets = Epic

e30touring14 — If flat caps are more your flavor here you go

e30touring15 — Big fan of shaved roundels and color keyed wheels

e30touring16 — The exhaust is also pretty sexy

e30touring24 — Twists look great on a touring

e30touring25 — I have never seen these wheels before but they look might fine here

e30touring17 — I will never tire of classic euro styling

e30touring22 — Notice the motor. Serious business.

e30touring10 — Uncontainable amounts of win here

Every time I see a Touring out and about or up for sale I can’t help but look forlornly at my bank account. I love wagons of all varieties but there’s something about E30 tourings….

Ya dying happy ends with owning one… Got deep pockets 😛

@Phil my bank account goes into hiding when I look at a touring for sale.

I think the Kerscher kicks are actually OZ Futuras.

Any info on where I can find out more about that first grey Touring? It’s the only Touring I’ve ever seen or heard of with a pre-facelift bumper conversion and I’m very interested in that!

Cairin, I can’t remember where I saw that, there’s a chance it’s euro bumpers maybe?

  They are euro pre-facelift bumpers. Tourings were never sold with pre-facelift bumpers, so the bumpers can only be from a conversion. I’ve been looking all over the internet for these conversions, but I haven’t found any information yet. I’ve only found threads on converting pre-facelift bumpers to facelift bumpers, never the other way around. 🙁

    Ah yes my e30 knowledge is fading (last one was about ten years ago) I know the pre face lift to face lift (in the rear) requires a valence so maybe it was the reverse of that? This is a good question let me ask some of my current e30 owning friends.
