Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

[2002jm]

thanks

Yes, read through that and it was helpful. I needed some real pictures of the clamps at the bottom of the side skirts. Don sent me some, so now I have this figured out. Was thinking of tape, 3M, and the end screws for now until I can get the clamps....will have to order them.

I ordered a bunch of them and the grommets and pins for the top. I'm still afraid to start drilling to mount them. The sides are riveted and I actually have the weird brackets for the sides too.

There is another option for clamps to install side skirt. ECStuning has them but I can not find the part number. They have a bulk pack only. If 2 others would like to split an order let me know. I think you need 8 total.

that's 51711933125. looks like the same clip is used for coupe/sedan side skirt and vert... part #8 on all the realoem diagrams (see 2 posts down).

[Mr. Wolfe]

You can buy those from the dealership at $2.26/piece. Also, look forward to the update.

MT1 RealOEM images and PDFs

Click on each pic to take you to directly to its realoem page.

I've attached PDFs for
- all the mtech1 realoem pages
- mtech1 parts lists - everything but the coupe side skirt and 320i rear apron parts for now (sorry)

All Mtech1 parts pages in RealOEM
PDF sorted by assembly
PDF sorted by part number and availability

Front spoiler, rear apron and rear spoiler part numbers and illustrations appear to be common for all cars, with 2 exceptions
- there are 2 kinds of rear aprons - slanted exhaust opening for 325i, straight exhaust opening for 320i. either one will work with any E30
- 3 side skirt types, 1 for vert, 2 for coupe (straight and with wheel arches). Either coupe side skirt will fit. Mounting hardware is different too.

I could be wrong though so caveat emptor.

Front spoiler parts list - identical for coupe/sedan/vert near as I can tell.


Rear apron - looks identical for all cars, except 325i part has slanted exhaust opening, 320i and below part straight

325i listing


320i listing


E30 MT1 rear spoiler - does not have the 3 ribs like the E28 one


Full coupe sideskirt (with the wheel arch parts)


Straight sideskirt (without the wheel arch parts - looks like it was for 323i)


Vert sideskirt (different hardware - slips over top of rocker trim)

MT1 assembly parts - sample pics

bet you've never seen one of these - older version the lower panel that screws the MT1 front spoiler and the metal valance together - one on each side. newer version has a bend in it.

mtech 1 air ducts (there are supposed to be some mtech1 fender liners as well but you can just cut holes in the normal ones).

thats them.

Mr Wolfe I did not know they were still at the dealership. Who did you order yours from?

that's 51711933125. will update this post with some realoem pages shortly. the hardware appears to be very different between coupe/sedan side skirt and vert.

Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

I got my clips from

http://thebmwminipartstore.com/

I was lucky however as the kit I got came with many of these clips and the lower panels as posted above . Even the brake ducts. The only thing I'm actually missing is a tow extension for the back.

[bradnic]

You don't have the part number by any chance do you? Do the brake ducts look like the ones shown in post 112?

[Mr. Wolfe]

thats them.

I just copied the part number into my favorite BMW dealership online. (BMW of Morristown)

I use them as well - very good source for OEM parts. Did you place the order recently?

Put in an order for front and rear spoiler hardware last week.. this is what came back:

Still hoping it's just the "blocked from US order" thing. Levent was looking into it.

UPDATE: It is all blocked from US order - UNLESS YOU HAVE A EURO VIN AND PROOF OR OWNERSHIP. Most of the hardware is still available as of March 2016, but the air ducts and most of the plastic panels are definitely NLA

Oh man, no, I have not placed an order for them yet. Maybe the ECS 25 pack is our only option? Old city bimmer, did you order yours recently? I have a connection at BMW of Morristown. Let me shoot him an email.

In other (good) news, my new Euro front and rear bumpers are shipping out from ECS this morning. I think I ordered them back in December.

Mr. Wolfe

[bradnic]

The ECS chrome bits are made by Polcar and are very good quality - better than my OEM rechromed bumpers, which were sandblasted. The rechrome job was beyond pathetic and crazy expensive. Rest of the kit was all OEM BMW bits.

I actually bought an ECS front bumper kit to get all the parts and be backup for my OEM ones. glad I did it. I'm putting the front Polcar on and using repro rears that were made in Italy.
