    I may have some rare Euro E30 parts here.

    I picked up a Euro 318is couple months back. Guy was in the military, stationed in Germany. He imported it here in 98, I guess he put some money into it until he gave up on it. (It looks he may of added cats, Ive read the euro cars didnt have them)And there I was to pick up the peices.

    Ive been on the internet alot lately looking at alot of M-tech parts, and I havent seen these yet. So maybe someone can shed some light. The rear has a very odd two peice wing, that at first I thought some asshole drilled two wings together. But once I started taking it apart it was apparant it's an original M-tech peice. Excuse the shitty pictures, my girls camera sucks.











    Heres the front lip that Ive yet to find a tag.

          Yea, that confused me also. When comparing it to other Euro's it was different. At that point I thought the guy was BSing me. Until I ran the carfax..


          A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is based only on information supplied to CARFAX. CARFAX checked over 5 billion vehicle history events and found 6 record(s) for this 1991 BMW 318IS (WBAAF9313MEE73153).

          The last record reported to CARFAX is from June 2000. While there haven't been any DMV-reported problems, check with the seller to see if they have any service and repair records before you buy.

            It is as much in vogue for european guys to go all-out USDM as it is for us to put euro stuff on U.S. cars.

                    part of it is also many things must meet US spec before the military will ship it (lights and such)

                        your car is a U.S. spec car, it was just in Germany for a little bit. The car fax is just showing that it was reshipped to the U.s.-- just like all the soldiers do with thier cars when they go back.
                        the military wont ship a car that wasnt already in the U.s.- unless it was a euro delivery U.S. spec car.
                        anyway-- a cllo front spoiler-- I saw a few of those this year at some shows, but also have no idea who makes them.
