    WTB: brilliantrot mtech2 e30

    Looking for a mtech2 e30. Brilliantrot is my personal grail color, but I might entertain other colors, too, if I can't help myself :)

    EDIT: Correction, looking for a Misanorot mtech2 coupe. They didn't come in brilliantrot as a coupe.

        MTechnic Coupes were never sold in the USA. Only convertibles.

        There are MTechnic coupes in Europe, but i've never seen pics of any in red so maybe they never offered that color.

        The only Red MTechnic i've ever seen are Convertibles, and these were sold in the USA.

            What's up Randy? I too assumed he was looking for one of the factory M techs but it seems he isn't. He could just be after any coupe with M tech 2 kit on it.

              I'm okay with a euro or japan spec m-tech 2, in fact I figured that's what I'd have to go with (I'm fine with importing).

              However, if it's true that they didn't come from the factory in color code brilliantrot, even overseas... That's too bad :(

              I guess my only option might be to make my own. Acquire a brilliantrot e30 IS with bad paint (unlikely being that it's one stage paint), order an oem mtechnik 2 bodykit, and get the entire thing repainted. Similar to: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-bmw-325is/. I wish I never saw that car... my taste is unsatisfied with any other e30 now.

              EDIT: alright, so it appears that mtech2 coupes were in fact made available from the factory in color code Misanorot: https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/inde...t_Colour_Codes

              In that case, I'm looking for a Misanorot mtech2 coupe, if possible.

                That Misanorot coupe you linked is an M3, not an M Technic coupe.

                    Whatever you do, don’t post photos or a description here of the car you found. I’m sure no one here would be interested, despite all the help and interest you were offered.

                      @delphintimecapsule it was a long road trip back with the car, plus long work hours and a busy thanksgiving. I’ll be sure to post about it when I manage to find some time!
