Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

I will hopefully pick today a euro 320i vert. If I'm able to get the title -I will convert it to Mtec1

**Never mind. I went to see the car today and it was pure trash. Not even worth saving

Damn

How about an Alpina C2 2.7 coupe with mtech1? It says saloon but it's a coupe

This is probably the best photo I have taken so far -were you can see the new smoke lights. I need to seal the fog lights and put them on.

Very nice. I just took my car for another drive yesterday and that M62 is fantastic. As soon as I get my house projects done, it's off to the e30.

I have a M60 with a five speed. I really enjoy the power and definitely on the top of the list -the sound. When driving around I get thumbs-up from all type of car guys. Subaru, Honda, Chevy and of course BMW.
It's probably the best complement to receive.

ABSOLUTELY. nice pic Old City Bimmer!

Update on my car - no mtech1 for the Vintage in 2 weeks :-( should be done later this summer though. Parts are looking great, but still a large amount of tedious, detailed front spoiler work to do on the slots. Body shop had zero interest in doing it, and I really trust those guys and don't want any issues. So I brought the part back and will 3d print a sanding tool to clean up the notches

Didn't mention the other mtech1 bits:
-- rear is in final primer and looks perfect
-- side skirts were painted but need some channel touch up and wet sanding
-- rear spoiler painted panel is waiting for the front and rears to be done to paint everything at once.

All the parts were stripped to bare material - no previous paint left on anything. Here's what the front piece looks like right now. It's the furthest from ready.


A particularly difficult area to repair. was worse not grinding out the paint layers from the channels, but the Dremel bit unfortunately dug into the sides too.


No real ground lost though - we'd still be in the same situation trying to prep the channels with the paint layers still in place. A 3d printed tool seems to be the only practical way to get this repaired.

Nice job on the fog light hole cutout


And all the mounting points except one they missed have been repaired


They tried to preserve the part number area

Thanks guys- over 3 yrs in the making. Still need to finish the interior. My car will be at the body shop -so I won't have it at the vintage. The front spoiler started to peel before I even installed it and I had accidentally closed the hood with a small flashlight sitting on the engine. Ouch . So the body shop has been really busy and they were able to get me in around that time. It sucks not to have it then but there will be next.

We had two guys in our group with cars there. A rotary power E30 and v12 750 that got into a small wreck the night before we left.
Next year I will probably have about 10 cars from our group there including myself. Sorry I missed you but will make sure we get together for some drinks 2018.
