What is a 75 estate

The Tourers are always more expensive and also were not out as early as the Saloons I believe so I think this will be a non starter for most.

Tourers where out soon after bmw got rid of rover as they were developed at the same time but bmw didn't let them make them so about 2001 at a guess

That always makes me shudder - suspension and brake components should be replaced on an axle basis.

In this case the old spring will not be the same as the new as the old will have sagged and not have the same rate
