E30 325i touring run around
« on: February 22, 2010, 10:21:54 pm »
Anyone had one, any good??

I have the chance to get a cheapy cheap one local to me, needs a little bit of work but in general looks OK, full leather etc

I want a nice tourer for doing 330 miles each way to Manchester every 6 weeks but a bit of fun with room for the dogs, mountain bike etc

E30 turned out to be a bit of a dog, well it smoked more than my mum once warm so I walked away, shame, it was nice...

But, on a brighter note, I got a lovely 525i Touring instead  :) picking up on Friday and it sounds and looks mint.

525 should be a nice bit of kit! Shame about the 325 though.

yeah, really fancied the 325 E30 but finding a nice one cheap doesn't happen....lol
Having said that the 525i will be more of a direct replacement for the Mondeo, the 325 is a bit small inside.... Simialr looks in a slighly larger package  ;)
