And why would this be a "tribute" car if it has the euro bumpers and m tech 1 kit?84 325e Burgundrot S52 M Tech 1.

I'm thinking it is technically a replica or 'tribute' car unless it was delivered as a MTechnic 1. That said, I'm not sure whether the MTechnic 1 was originally available as a dealer installed option, factory installed or both. Anyone know? In either case, I don't think any US s/n cars were sold as MTech 1 so even though it is built with OEM parts, it is still a replica or tribute... Still just as much win though, so semantics as far as I'm concerned.

UPDATE: Also note that there is a groove on the MT1 cap between the tongue that slips into the end of the rubber bump strip and the tab that mounts to the bumper. You can see the groove in photo 2 below. This portion of rubber on the standard euro end cap is flush with the end of the tongue and needs to be carved out so that the edge if the valance can ride in the groove.
Here is the first cut:
Here is the second cut:
Here is the 3rd cut. This is the cut where you cut around the perimeter of the steel spine and then pull off the rubber end:
Here are shots of the right rear modified cap on the car:
