Munts316i 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 did you end up finding out how much that m tech 2 (replica?) kit from autopassion was going to cost? and how many limbs would it leave someone with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325GRANT 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 yeah i phoned autopassion and talked to him about it... heres a recall of the conv. me: im interested in the body kit on the e30 on your website, how much is it? ap: $700 for that but it has to come from australia me:$700 for a m tech kit!!! whats the catch? ap: no catch so im getting out my visa and he says ... ap:its not a kit you know its just a front spoiler. me:aha so how much for the whole kit? ap: what kit? he says... the car in the photo doesnt have a kit on it just a front spoiler. after about 5-10 mins trying to convince him it does have a kit on it he said ap: the back (bumper and under) is $700 me: and the side skirts? ap:$700 me:door mouldings? ap:$700 so considering he gave me pricing on a product he had no idea he had/has i dont really have much faith in him. i did talk to a guy in austrialia that told me there not made anymore and they can only get replacement parts for crashed m tech's, oh he did say that he could maybe get me one for $4500.00 but it wouldnt have a fitting kit! think ill give it a miss.

m325i 709 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) DONT SELL OUT. DO you want every one driving round in Mtech rip offs? I beg you not to. If u want an mtech, buy an mtech. Whats next a evo with a WRX scoop? Spose those MR2's with Ferrari kits are up you guys alley too? :gay: Edited September 1, 2004 by m325i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*sic 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 ... sell out? how are you selling out when you get a replica kit? care if its not a mtech original... as long as he doesnt bust round with m badges and tell everyone it is then good on him, get that sh*t. but when you pose as something it aint... homosex ensues. but getting a replica instead of the real thing... if its half price, looks the same and does the same job... your a chump to pay the full price really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 IMO Putting any kit/spoilers on a car that didn't come with them is rude. No doubt the M badges are not far away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So does that like make all after market modifed cars rude then...because that's exactly what happens I agree with you on this one for once sic, it's all cosmetic and if you can do it smartly for less then it's all good, but don't go spreading b/s about it being the shizzle. If anyone can get any eyelids at a reasonbly good price i'd love some :bounce: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 With the exception of aftermarket wheels, then yes, it does make any aesthetically modified car rude. If anything i prefer cars de-spoilered. Actually maybe after seeing this i take it all back... Look what a kit can do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 so instead of putting a replica kit on my 325 i should sell it (for a sh*t load less than i paid for it, losing lots) and buy a M325.....why? fool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cars come from the factory like that. I said modified. Its like buying a pair of Barta Bullets, and sewing on a Reebok pump and a Nike Swoosh... You my think thats cool, and its only your opinion that matters, but i dont agree with it.

Grant 4 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 Gidday I'm sick of the arguements about what is ok or not ok to do to your car. Who cares, so long as the person is happy with what they have done to their own car, and they aren't making it out to be something that it is not i.e badging their 318i as an M3 etc , then who cares. To this end, stop the arguing, and get back on topic. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
