LTO E30 Touring Is the BMW Wagon of Our Dreams

In 2018, the first LTO project emerged onto the scene, followed a year later by two more. They were really popular at SEMA, yet not many people know about this wagon.

From what we gather, the body kit is only available for sale on the regular E30 BMW 3 Series Coupe. That means the red wagon is a prototype.

We've always been fans of cool wagons, particularly if they have round headlights and a German badge. However, it's fair to say the E30 Touring hasn't received the same kind of love and attention, partly because it wasn't available as an M3.

The front of the package is obviously going to be the same for both body styles. It increases the track by 55mm but only under certain conditions. If you've got the pre-facelift 1984-1987 model, you'll need to swap out your bumper for the newer version.

A chin spoiler can also be seen, as well as chunky side skirts. The tricky part is at the back, where the widebody kit adding 80mm needs to cover the rear doors openings. And at the back, the old Bimmer gets a diffuser and spoiler.

Judging from the coupe's kit, this is a Stage 2 look costing $6,150 or more. However, we're quite happy with the basic Stage 1 starting from just $3,850, which would miss out on the rear aero.

This particular build seems to reside in Japan and sports cherry red paint combined with white wheels and a chopped hood. To see how mind-blowing a E30 can look, make sure to check out one of Kyza's most recent renderings.

UPDATE:

Owner Mush Alkarkhi found our article and reached out. If you've an E30 Touring fan and want to rock your own widebody kit in the future, give @lookmush a follow. The project car is running an M20B20 engine with a Garrett GT3076R turbo.
