Do we have an MTech 1 Thread?

Are those Kopi Alpinas? 15 or 17"?

Negative, those are authenic 16" alpinas.

I have a brand new 772 from the dealer. My shop foreman ordered it 5 years ago when he owned my car and it happened to come in just before i quit!





Should i use, or hack my US valence and sell this sheet of OE gold?

That valance doesn't look right. The part number is for a eurovalance, but the open upper ends aren't supposed to be there
Look more like a 771 DB valance.

the 227 valance is the plastic bumper version. there's an 84-85 2 piece valance as well, came on the first euros and early grey market cars like the one kronus has. they also use different plastic lips / spoilers than the one piece valances. MT1 works with both eras, but as mentioned the 227 plastic bumper valance needs to be cut to work with an MT1 front.

this is the 41331961227 plastic bumper valance. used worldwide. there's also a version outside of US without the oil cooler ducts. the fog/brake duct holes are low which makes this fairly simple to modify for an MT1. If you do that you of course need to replace the metal valance if you ever remove the MT1 setup. not a big deal to source though since they're used on all plastic bumper E30s.


all of the pics below are 1 piece 'diving board era' valances.

here's a DB valance with eurobumpers - haven't painted my 772 yet. If you want to run euro bumpers with a DB valance, there's metal right where you don't want it, and no metal where you do :-)


here's a 41331933771 diving board valance - same one in your 2nd pic above


here's a 770 eurovalance (no oil cooler / ac ducts)


770 valance mounted on e30rapidic's vert (he has an alpina spoiler now - I assume he cut the vent holes in to his 770 part).


and here's a 772 eurovalance


and Southernboy's alpina C2 B7 with a 772

Look at what just happened to me - same thing that happened to chachi. the top valance is a repro 772. the bottom one was just received from BMW. RIGHT PART NUMBER FOR A EURO AC VALANCE, WRONG PART DELIVERED!

BEWARE ordering euro valances from BMW.

do you know what the paint is called?

When I get home I will look for it

[2002jm]

Car should be done in few days

Now this is what I wish I could have done to my m-tech 1:)

Yep, I just tried to get some and they are nla from bmw. Someone might have some, but they would want to keep them with the bumpers.
Paint them, they will look great.

Anyone know where i can find new end caps for the molding on the mtech 1 rear bumper. My are faded and possibly can fix with paint but would rather buy new.

They don't make them anymore. Eastwood sell a special paint that etch itself into the rubber and it comes out really nice. It's almost like a die but much better
