Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

[Mr. Wolfe]

I will be starting a build thread soon.

An old picture of mine is in the mass post, but here are some more up to date ones. The front is Hargte, not Mtech 1.



I really hate this pole in my garage...

one more MT1 vert - found this on the Mtech thread, apparently all original



EDIT: photobucket death...

how about this perfect, fully optioned mt1 vert from Germany, with hardtop and OEM roof rack mounts

This is pretty much the perfect example of an MT1 in my mind; 4 door, silver, shadow everything. Wheel fitment could be a bit less poke for my tastes...but that's being picky ;D

[alas]

What wheels are those?

pictures of original m-tech 1 interior

Could someone post some pictures of what an original m-technic 1 interior would have looked like in 84-87?
thanks,

paging robrez

there's the BMW Cloth thread, but it's not mtech1 only, and covers more than E30.

most of the mtech cloth you see out there is later gen (Evo cloth, special edition green purple blue...). this is robrez's


I think houndstooth was it early on.

yes, that is the problem. The early cars had the hounds tooth, but I am not sure if that is all they had. I think, as you mentioned, the later cars came with the nice m-tech cloth. I am thinking about working on the interior of my m-tech clone this summer and wanted to know exactly what I should be looking for. Wondering if any of the m-techs had the blue hounds tooth??
thanks for the reply,

spectacular mtech 1 HT interior in a UK 87 "325i Sport" from a "daveoakeshott" this thread on e30tech.
this is the car (public pics from his photo bucket)




the only other interior I can think of is E30 recaros, option 476, pics from this thread


and these were on a Classic Heroes UK M3 for sale listing as "rare [OEM] Recaro option"

and another Recaro example

[2002jm]

perfect

That is what I am looking for. So hounds tooth is the original for m-tech 1. Herringbone would not work?
thanks again,
jm
