Just looked under the back of my tourer, and based on Number 32 (anti-roll bar deleted), I was surprised to actually see one.

My tourer is a 2003 on a 52 plate, so totally confused now.

Perhaps my car was produced before it was a dropped and sat at a dealers. VIN is 279879.

I think it only says saloon so maybe it wasn't removed from the tourer?

Reebs' excellent post no1 mentions the 75 Dash savings, but there must have been a time when the ZT had the same fate.

This is a picture of my dash

And one of Jakg's from his post about changing dash colour

Anyone know when they changed? and it makes you think they are wood underneath.

Anal I know

It was more the case of removing the metal backs.If you look at the two pictures above it demonstrates the change in the AirBag logo,from inlaid to surface mounted.

I'm sure ZT's would be more popular at $12000 per once!

My 75 Tourer was first registered in Aug 04. The BMW engine is stamped July 02 and everything else points to it being made mid 2002.
Was annoyed at first but maybe I am better off. I'm a little concerned that it may have the auto box before the mod to improve the cracked reverse solenoid/piston problem. Still, it's ok at moment but only done 46000 miles.

I wonder would that have been one of the cars that was exported and then brought back?
