    M-Tech door/body pods/panels: Source (OEM or aftermarket)?

    Maybe I am butchering the terminology but I am working toward repanting my '89 325 convertible (with a plastic bumper swap) and I am looking for the parts or a kit that contains the 6 pieces of the M-technic kit. These would be the ones that go on the fenders, doors, and rear area before the wheel arches. They have to fit a convertible, and try as I might I can't seem to keep straight what year range of cope my wheel arches equate to.

    I am considering Reiger sideskirts, or M-tech skirts. Up front I am undecided on whether to stay with an OEM late valance with an IS lip or go with something aftermarket but I have always liked the cleaner look of the front stock valance and the IS lip. In the rear I have a valance. All bumpers are likely to get the euro trim. Everything will be painted body color.

    I don't care if the parts are OEM or aftermarket. I tried running searches here and on Google but with the wrong terminology I am just spinning my wheels.

    My search results only stand to confuse me.





    I found the RealOEM diagram that I THINK corresponds: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...03&hg=51&fg=16

    I would like to see if there is an aftermarket version for cost purposes. This car is a driver, not a show car or strict restoration. That, plus 51712234021 is NLA.

    For those under a rock, I mean the 6 pieces (3 visible here) that extend below the "waist" of the car here:



    So any sources for an aftermarket replica version of those parts? I can find the bumpers and valances all day long.

    Since you have an early vert. you really should look into the mtech1 kit. it looks better imo and since you have small tail lights it looks weird with mtech2.
    but if you want the mtech2 there is some aftermarket ones for sale. but dont mix and match. do all one or all of another. 1/2 mtech2 cars look stupid.
    Much wow
    I hate 4 doors

      I can't find any info on the side panels on the Abrams site.
