    Might purchase M-tech II Vert

    I just found this locally and my dad is really interested in it as a secondary car. I know these aren't the true M-tech 2, but m-tech 2 package is still rare and beautiful enough to purchase as a cruiser.

    It has 119k miles, looks like it's in immaculate condition. It has a brand new power vert top. Some lady has owned it for the year, has had it under a car cover for most of that time and has no idea what she really owns. Sadly the car is an Automatic, but that is nothing an s50 / manual tranny swap can't fix in the future. And for $5900 I think this car is a steal, I'm going to go check it out thursday.

    I know the only differences being exterior/interior styling and m-technic suspension. Was there anything else different in the m-tech package?

    Here are the pics.

    Exterior and interior are the only differences .
    Suspension is regular 325ic stuff , nothing special .
    And all but like maybe 5 were originally automatics .

    Can be a nice car but $5900 is definitely NOT a steal for that car no matter how you slice it .

        Well from what I seen the 325ic are pricey and couldn't find anything below 5k in decent condition. Plus you can't hate on the m-tech 2 kit w/ white interior.
        Does anyone know how many m-tech 2 appearance were produced, i believe they were mostly all produced in 92, except for maybe several in 91.

          Looks like a nice drop toppie.

          How much does he want for it? Crawl underneath and look at things...

            She wants $5900, I thought was is a pretty good deal compared to what I seen other verts go for. Yeah if my dads serious I'm going to get it on a lift, check everything out and do a compression test.

                      e30s are like fat girls that USED to be hot, you just gotta work them out to make them hot again.

                        Sounds/looks like it's in great shape, but $5900 is pretty steep. I just picked one up for $1800, but it was in really bad shape. Still, It's only about $1500 max to get it running and looking near perfect...I would try and get her down to $5K

                          It doesn't list how many appearence package cars were produced, only full m-tech cars.

                            I knew the AWD was pretty rare, but wow they only produced double the amount of E30 M3s. I want one so bad to take up to the mountains to go snowboarding. Also I can't see any harm in some rallying, dirtye30.com :)

                              This car was on the forums a month or 2 ago, I wonder if the price is why it's still on the market? Did you go see it yet?

                              IIRC, It was in Seattle somewhere, and the gal was a UW law student/recent grad. Same car? Not trying to get in your deal, just wondering if it's the same car.

                              It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
