They weren&#8217;t built by BMW (God only knows why), but were aftermarket conversions done by a handful of European outfits.

All I can say is it&#8217;s a good thing I don&#8217;t have any money or I&#8217;d be bidding and making arrangements to ship it here from Germany. And if I won the auction, I&#8217;d probably end up without a home, so the wagon-back would really come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_11.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_11-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_11\" title=\"e28_touring_11\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_10.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_10-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_10\" title=\"e28_touring_10\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_9.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_9-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_9\" title=\"e28_touring_9\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_8.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_8-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_8\" title=\"e28_touring_8\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_7.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_7-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_7\" title=\"e28_touring_7\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_6.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_6\" title=\"e28_touring_6\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_5.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_5\" title=\"e28_touring_5\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_4.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_4\" title=\"e28_touring_4\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_3.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_3\" title=\"e28_touring_3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_2.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_2\" title=\"e28_touring_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"e28_touring_1\" title=\"e28_touring_1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1603\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/e28_touring_12.png\" alt=\"e28_touring_12\" title=\"e28_touring_12\" width=\"490\" height=\"236\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1617\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This car is it.
