e30kingpin 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 Has anyone brought any kits over the internet? is it safe? is there anyone in NZ that makes kits? I have a 1987 325i 2dr and would like to fit an M-tech II kit (i know that there is a difference between fiting pre and post 88) i have found two sites so far... http://www.rosemdesign.com/lowen/pages/mtech.htm http://www.m-99.co.uk/Car_Bodykits/BMW_E30...30_3_series.htm any feed back would be helpful!

greenday-rulz21 5 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Ill just add an option. Boostlifters Performance Just one thing I've noticed. You can get a Full fiberglass kit for $1425 on the first site (Well I'm guessing its fiberglass) but you can get original Plastic Kits for around that, or even a little less for the ones that were on trade me a while ago, although they did need a little work. But they don't come around very often, really. Edited August 23, 2007 by Nick021 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30kingpin 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 Is it possible to get an M-Tech kit new from BMW? Do they still make them? Can you only buy aftermarket? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30kingpin 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Ring BMW. I called BMW NZ, they said call any local dealer. Jeff Gray BMW (Hastings) can get the front and sides, the back has been discontinued Front $1200 Sides $1400 (a tad pricy i think...) If this becomes my only option is there any other back that would look good? Edited August 22, 2007 by e30kingpin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) For a motorsport maybe, but the look-alikes are going for much less, not mention the odd motorsport that has been advertised at $5kodd and not sold. Show me a msport that has sold for that money recently. Anyway I digress. I bought a tech-II (4-door admittedly, but they are harder to find anyway) genuine plastic tech II-fitted 320i with a blown auto 'box for under $2k. As you know it was diamndschwartz so didn't need painting, and we got the 320i on the road WOF'd and reg'd, replacement auto, serviced with new cambelt etc for another $700 (plus my labour - lots of). It's now Keiti's daily and worth roughly the total cost spent including getting the tech II on my car. It's definately the way to go if you can find one. Only caveats: Mine needs a couple of small plastic welds, paint could do with a touch up here or there, and you're unlikely to find one the right colour anyway.

(plastic) I have seen e30 tech II's sell for under 10k but they were usualy not manual and 320i or 318i 2dr tech II i think is even harder to find...

bravo 34 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 318 tech II 2-door Doesn't matter if the car you buy is an auto or 320. Strip the kit off and on-sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B*Emz 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 If I was you I'd buy something like the car on tardme and do as graham says. Looks pretty tidy from pics, so even after taking the kit off it you'd have a nice saleable wee car anyway. That said I have no idea how the guy got the seats so low- I can't even see them in one of the pics hah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
