The purpose for the B6 2.8 Touring was to take advantage of a market opportunity when BMW Japan decided to not import the 328i Touring to Japan. This model was a cheaper alternative to the B3 3.2 Touring which was also imported to Japan at the same time.
The B6 2.8 Touring features the following modifications:
* interior plaque with “B6 2.8 Touring LTD. EDT.” model designation
* exterior “B6 2.8” emblems
* chassisplate with “B6 2.8 Touring Japan” designation
* own chassisnumber range
* available colors for the B6 2.8 Touring were limited to silver, green and red
The vast majority of B6 2.8 Touring examples are equipped with automatic non-Switchtronic gearbox.
The B6 2.8 Touring was produced from 1996 to 1998.
In total 136 examples were made.
