The UK or Germany. Be prepared to spend anywhere from $1-2k for a complete authentic kit, not including shipping from across the pond.

Check ebay.de, maybe E30zone.co.uk, and go from there.

I've heard that there is a company that makes fiber glass replicas of the Mtech-II I also heard that they aren't worth it. What company is this?

BC Auto and Eurostyle, both around here coincidentally. I've seen the problems with the BC Auto kit, and the fitment of the Eurostyle. BC has never changed their mold, and Eurostyle has updated the dimensions a bit. Because of this Eurostyle's newest M-tech II stuff fits incredibly well, I've seen it all in person. I can only speak of the stuff made in the past year though, never saw anything before then.

It's something like $1200cad ($950usd or so) for his full kit (front valence, bumper, side skirts, door panels, rear bumper, and rear apron). You can find him mostly on maXbimmer.com forums.

Thats actually not a bad deal. If the price you quote is the correct price thats less than the full BMP design kit.

I would have to see pics of the kit mounted on several different cars before I believe that. Nothing against them personally.

Well, look at bmwm5lover and sebster's pics. Both have M-tech II front valences, and sebster now has the rear apron too. I watched the day they mounted them, the pieces slid right on perfectly snug and every corner matched flush except the back of the bumper, an inherent drawback of using stock bumpers with the fractionally longer bottom piece.

The only really still questionable pieces on Fils (Eurostyle's) kits may be the door pannels.

I belive he sorted out the front and rear as Jay said. The door pannels might even be fine now.

As for fitment have you seen that silver cab with gross rims? It's fitted with Eurostyles M-tech II replica and looks pretty good.

How much is the actual BMP kit? It Might be an idea to look into purchasing the same kit from aus (the exchange rate would be good). The BMP kit is $1300 australian here which is like $1000 USD. I cant imagine it being more than $200-$300 australian to ship to the US, so for like $1200 you could get it from down here.

Yeah, that's the latest produced full kit I've seen, and it fits well.

Hmm.. anyone have any clean pictures of an Mtech II front, side and rear to share in high detail?

A local shop does some amazing work with fiberglass and they quoted me at like $500 for the whole kit fitted to my car. I thought that was a great deal, but they need really good pictures soooo :P

Took a bit of searching, here's the pics:









Try to look past the rims, keep the damn thread on topic.

[nando]

the fitment of that front bumper is awful! and how can you look past those rims? :shock:

at least it's not all wavy, I guess..

[DSchultz325e]

You can easily fix that bumper sag up front if they have the proper brackets. That's the same kind of shit that happens to the stock plastics.

[M42Technik]

That honestly is the best replica M-Tech II I've seen in a while. The front sags but thats fixable, and the passenger door moulding looks a bit funny, but other than that, good.

Was it fitted and fixed by a shop to fit better?
