Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

[Mr. Wolfe]

Can that part be ordered through ECS Tuning ??? They have it listed. I don't think you need a euro vin to order from them?

Not sure, but I have ordered some parts from ECS and then got a message that it was NLA or Euro only so not everything is up to date. It does say ships in 5 days so i am curious. Though I really am going to use this one as a template and make new ones. It is absolutely ridiculous to pay over $100 for this piece of plastic.

Very nice find. Those parts are NLA and not many have them since they so easily lost. Honestly they are just just flat pieces of plastic that can be made very easily, but I understand the plus factor of saying yes it's complete original.

Those parts are Euro only. If I have a VIN he can order them for me he said. I actually have the right side one. It is a flat piece in the illustrations, but it's actually a 3D piece. The one side bends up at 90˚.

With that being said, I am going to try to source a piece of plastic off of something that has a bend and I will use this one as a template. I am then going to return this piece because having 1 side does me little good. Plus, it would be nice to get that $107 back. :)

I just found this out as well through BMW of Morristown. They had part #51111959740 in stock and I bought it, but I can't buy the other side (51111959739) because I don't have a Euro car. If you ever make an order, I would love for you to order this part for me.

Just found out today from my local BMW dealer that I can order European parts for my euro E30 from any dealer in the US. The only thing is that I need documents proving my car was imported to the US legally and I need to fill out forms for the parts that I need and why. This is interesting because I've been told many times that this is not possible by many dealers. The guy in the parts department told me that he worked for a company back then in 85 that imported E30's and everything he described that had to be done to certified them I had in my car. This is great cause now I know I don't have to go nuts trying to find parts.

I usually get my parts when I go to Europe or from my brother in law overseas. Only thing I have to be dependent on his time table.
