Doesn't get old looking at these M tech 1 early models.

They are the ones that I bought my original replica Mtec front apron. Never got to use it.

Anyone have anything to add to this thread? I am dying here waiting for my car back. Had a small hiccup, but hopefully I will have it back in my possession in the next 2 weeks. I am jones-ing for some Mtech 1 goodness. :D

Mr. Wolfe

I've been 100 % focused on rebuilding the drivetrain. My engine should be ready in a week with the complete drive train by the first or second week of March.

Here's a couple of shots of how I got my car and what I'm aiming for.

That car is going to look fantastic. Do you have the MTech 1 kit purchased?

Mr. Wolfe

Interesting color choice

I have a true Euro-spec 88 cabrio with a full (minus spoiler) M Tech 1 kit I'm considering selling with the euro bumpers and Zender rear spoiler.

Mr. Wolfe

Yeah, I'm pretty motivated. I got everything, but the rear spoiler, from this guy in Ireland that had an '85 323i Bahama beige. I wasn't able to confirm if the car came with the M Tech 1 from factory or if it was a dealer add-on kit.

Notice no side markers on his model.

Mtec1 did not come in that color, so that will be a dealer add on.

Awesome. We are in a similar situation. I am waiting for my car's engine to be finished up (M62 swap). As soon as I get it back, I have a TON of work including a full color change, mtech, suspension, etc.

started the shadow line conversion. new shadow line deck lid, fender and quarter trim, refurbished shadowline door trim off a 318is, rough sanded and painted bright trim on top of doors, quarters and A pillars.

Also worked on the shadow line trim for the driver's door. I have new bright trim for both doors and quarters, so I decided to just rough sand
the existing trim and experiment with some SEM black trim paint.

original trim


rough sanded with 500 grit paper, then applied the trim paint. It was too glossy but some light sanding with 1200 grit took care of that. also took 1200 grit to the existing shadow line belt line door trim I had. It matched the gloss and color of the new quarter panel shadowline trim perfectly after sanding.

here's a quick trial fit. still a lot to do but we like it, and if we get tired of it I have a new set of bright trim waiting for the car.


next steps:
-- finish door assembly
-- paint/dye carpet, paint rear quarters and top deck lid vinyl bits
-- shadowline on other door and deck lid
-- repair pass door window regulator (slips down and makes noise when at top position).
