Wow! And nearly everything is old enough to be legally imported to the US, other than the 205, Golf Country, and Cappuccino.

I was going to say that that seemed awfully cheap until I noticed it's in BC, which negates any American demand.

Hell, I'd buy it and stash it up in Canada until 2022 if I could.

Nuuuu! Its Autotragic!

Yes. And you can relatively easily find a 25+ year old 205 (hell, I own a 1988 205 GTI) and a mk2 Golf. The Cappuccino is a JDM import I know nothing about.

It's not expensive regardless. I haven't seen a single one in my life, while E36 Tourings aren't that uncommon here. It must be impossible to register in the US though.

It certainly seems unduly inexpensive regardless of the locale. Probably not able to be registered in the US for the next 8 years, unless you wanted to do it under the show/display exemption, which I certainly wouldn't.
I did find some E30 Alpina wheels here in Dallas while perusing for a cheap set of low-cost OEM wheels to throw on the Touring. Thought about it for a second, but let them go. Thinking now that might have been a mistake after seeing the same basic design on this E36T!

Still one of the best-balanced wagons on the planet.

Honestly, I personally would choose between either the wheels it's got now or preferably a set identical to the spare wheel, the larger diameter cross spokes. A set of Alpina wheels changes the look/character of the car and makes it look less original, which might turn away some potential buyers.
How's the registration going? Will it be for sale soon?

Certainly not actually worth the money in this case, and I agree that bone stock would be the way to go if a wheel change is going to be made.
Sorry, I got your email, I've just been swamped at work and it slipped my mind. Just have to get the title translated professionally and I should be able to go into my local tax office and get it registered, at least according to the folks I spoke with last week at the regional governmental office I visited to get the VIN-plate certification. Hoping to have it done this week, if possible.
