      Not many of us here have the taste for a body kit, so keep that in mind.

        if we are talking aftermarket bodykit, I like the BMP one http://www.bmpdesign.com/index.shtml
        But apparently fitment is a problem, so you might be spending a fortune trying to get it right. Maybe someone with a BMP kit will chime in.

        There's a member here, Eurostyle, that makes replica M-tech II stuff, that could be another option.

        Best would be, imo, is to hunt for some Euro-bumpers and M-tech I kit.

            I would only consider factory skirts or aprons. I'm sure there are plenty of people here that would agree.
            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

              If you tell me what year your car is, I have a OEM kit that you might want to buy.

              If your car is from 1984 to 1987, you can acquire this M-Tech I kit for your car. The bumpers are euro bumpers, you can replace your huge bumpers for this one.



              If your car is from 1988 to 1991, you can get the M-Tech II kit.



              You also need to read this:



              I have an M-Tech I kit and euro bumpers for sale. I will have an M-Tech II kit for a four door E30, however that will not be for a long time (April).

              EDIT: Neither kit is cheap. You have to pay to play.

                haha i like how every time a body kit is mentioned dan will chime in, but id do the same if i was selling the kits ;)

                go for mtech 1 if youre looking to spend money, theyre the best kit by far for 84-87, and they actually fit

                btw dan, where do you get all these kits? something special going down in cuba that we dont know about?

                  What hasn't gone down in Cuba that people didn't know about?

                  I agree body kits on E30's are hit or miss. In my opinion the BMP kit is the only non Mtec kit I would put on my car. They look really good if done right, nothing too flashy.

                    No. We don't like people that do body kits half assed.
