Mtech2 Cabby Pictures- REAL deal, No appearance package please
You are absolutely right! :D Peep the seat..gel seat cuz my tender ass cant hang with paper thin ones...plus I've owned the bike way before the car, so if anything I bought the car to match my bike :p
a little off topic but how do cabs with mtech kits drive? I've driven in a diving boards cab and it feels great at low speeds but a bit loose at high. I can't imagine an extra 50lb body kit would help with the handling aspect. not bashing but debating whether I should trade my coupe for one.
Here's my contribution...4/91 Sterling Silver, auto -_- Needs alotta work! Had it for about 3 years now and its been sitting in the same place, have no time =\
In regards to engine swaps on these cars. These cars, unlike the M3, aren't known for their engine nor did they have a special engine designed for it. It's just a regular M20 that came in every 325i. So in my opinion, engine swaps or turbocharging shouldn't lower their value but add value to most people. Then there are some who just want it bone stock with no mods but what fun is that? =]
it doesn't have to have a "special" motor for the car to be more valuable with the stock motor in. most collectible cars are considered more valuable if they are kept original/numbers matching.
if you're selling it to a bmw enthusiast, it's worth more original. if you're selling it some kid on r3v who wants to go drifting, it's probably worth more with an s50 swap. but only if the paint's already terrible and the body is damaged. :)

While that is true, I don't think we have to worry about that so much with the M Technic's. Most BMW enthusiasts don't even know this package existed so I doubt they'd fuss over a numbers matching M20. When I got mine I certainly didn't care. I was more concerned that it had a clean title, no major accidents and all of the M Technic bits. Like an E21 320iS, I doubt anyone is making a fuss over a numbers matching M10. That would be pretty hardcore.
