I always liked station wagons for some reason, It looks sweet and I love the color!!! Very nice

I like: the subtle spoilers (Mtech 2 and the flap on the rear spoiler), the cream interior, the exhaust
I dislike: the color, the tacky extra gauges in the mirror, the steering wheel

Looks awesome, and I love the paint color, its a shame its an auto-tragic.

Although I'd love to change it to an e46 smg tranny...

Fellow tourer owner right here guys,

Stevo, do you ever clean and check for built up mess behind those mud flaps?

I just ask as we had a convo on another forum about the benefit of mudf laps bar the disadvantages.

I personally think they suit the touring, so have opted to keep them, but I did find rust had started to develop where they fit against the bodywork. I have since removed them, rubbed down and treated the area, before replacing them.

I don't think just jet-washing alone is sufficient on an E30, and maybe a quarterly removal of the wheel and thorough clean out under the arch and behind the mud flaps is needed.

I have removed and cleaned behind the front mud flaps once since I got the car, they were not too bad, the rears flaps are mounted on the plastic bumper so not too much to worry about there.The only real problem I have with the mud flaps is they do tend to scrape over speed bumps even when I slow right down, probably due to the car having been lowered.

Damn you damn you damn you, if i have a touring in 10 days its your fault. Is getting it from Canada to the states going to be too much trouble?

**dev6315** · 11-23-2007, 05:07 PM
