mtech2 and 1 are easy to get from aussie and england + canada. Very cheap 1000 - 2000 dollars.

I'd rather pay the premium for a genuine Motorsport / sport. sh*t, an 87 M325i can be had for 7.5K these days!

I'm with Sam on this. If I was looking at buying another E30, or was in the market now, I think I would be waiting until I found the right M325i (well, actually I would probably be looking for a good top condition E30 M3.)

However, after three two door cars in a row, when buying my E30, I looked for a 4 door one, I know that there are a lot of coupe fans here, but I got sick of them from a practical point of view.

Cheers

In terms of putting stuff in the car - i find the coupe much easier. I can easily fit my bike on the back seats by folding my two front seats forward.

Sleeping in the car is unfortunately the same for 4 and 2 door, bloody unconfortable.

find a wrecked e30 maybe at turners wrecked car auctions get dimensions and mounting points and shape from that, and then design your own kit relevant to an m-tech1 or 2 kit maybe using dimensions from them also.

an M325 and a top condition M3? thats a fair wack of price difference. there was a e30 m3 forsale in the BMWCC magazine for 50 large. (okay so that was a 2.5 evo sport, one of 600 made...)

but still, an M325i maybe $15,000, at the most,

top condition M3, $30,000 at the least...

I appeal to all owners of m3, mtech 1 and mtech 2 kitted vehicles!

do not give in to the temptation

If you turn to the dark side and let your kit be moulded, they will be a dime a dozen.

Keep it real!
