daz031178 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi all I know this isn't in the right place but I can't post there any how. I currently have a 330i sport but needs must and I want to get a tourer with a decent sized engine but for the love of god there are almost none for sale anywhere, whats going on and does anyone know of any????

alistair26 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Agreed! The good ones that do come on go very quickly. It took me ages to find mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 You need the size? for what exactly? forgive me fellow touring drivers but if i had a saloon i wouldn't go to a tourer & think 'wow i've gained masses of space' unless its for a medium/small dog. daz031178 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz031178 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 And there jay you have hit the nail on the head. My Mrs just bought an f'in springer spaniel puppy. So looks like the 330i will be going up for sale and I will be leaving the zimmer club :-( Jay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Think a springer Spaniel will be ok tho mate! theyre a medium sized dog so stick with the brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keep-3 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've been eyeing up tourer's too for the same reason amongst others and noticed the same! theres not many out there for sale but there does seems to be a lot more for sale if your happy for an automatic though.

DJ Syxx Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Very few tourers about for sale generally people keep and use them as they are a great tool. starkie7 and Ragamuffin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkie7 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Very few tourers about for sale generally people keep and use them as they are a great tool. Exactly. I wanted a manual 330d sport touring that had decent history and took an age to find. I'm on my 3rd E46 touring and can't find a better all round car for the money.

cjohnson Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I don't really need a touring at all. I'm only 21, I've got a kid on the way but a saloon would have done the job fine. I just prefer the look of the touring, and you don't see that many about that have been played with! Jay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Excactly, tourers are propper pimp! I had a a4 avant on coilies & 19" RS4's in black - looked mega! Much prefered it to a saloon Paddybrown23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullhouse Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Have just brought one about 10 mins ago on EBay, just hope it turns up half decent, will update on new thread, needed the space for my wheel business so should hopefully be able to get at least 2 sets in the back with the seats flat.

e46rob Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Exactly. I wanted a manual 330d sport touring that had decent history and took an age to find. I'm on my 3rd E46 touring and can't find a better all round car for the money. I am having the same trouble finding a 330d loon sport with a manual box that isn't hundreds of miles away...cash waiting like bait on a line for a good bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz031178 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Alpina B3 3.3 Tourer Now thats nice but high miles (in my head, but is that nothing to worry about?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjn Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) A little over 10k miles a year, as long as its been properly maintained, shouldn't have anything to worry about. Plus, its got leather heated seats, sat nav, and its exclusive, don't see many about. Edited March 15, 2013 by mjn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arry Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Took me ages to find my 330d Tourer. I looked at ~9 I think before I bought mine - and even mine wasn't perfect when I got it, needed a bit of tidying and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B9SLJ Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think most tourings are bought by people who keep em long term as they are so good, ive had my 330d tourer nearly 4 years now. fair enough its had wear n tear items changed but its never let me down. Regular servicing and general maintenance is all they need, mines still running well at 189k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezer Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Took me ages to find my 330d Tourer. I looked at ~9 I think before I bought mine - and even mine wasn't perfect when I got it, needed a bit of tidying and work. I've just bought one too. I paid probably too much for it, but it's a real nice low-ish mileage manual. I've had to do some work to get it where it should be too & this is despite full service history from a bmw specialist garage. Latest problem is that it's running too cool. I've got a EGR Thermostat on order & hope it's that. If not, it's main thermostat. arry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Had mine 18 months and love it!!! Its done 164000 miles and runs perfect so dont let high miles put you off if its been looked after. In fact i have come to the conclusion that a high milage well looked after car is better than a low milage car thats hardly been run up to temp and been driven to and from the shops over pot holed streets instead of nice smooth motorways. My boy just about fits in the boot so you will have no problems with a springer CharlE46 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
