Fog Light Mounting

Yo anyone got pics of how Mtech 1 foglights mount?

Do they mount to the front valance or hang from the bumper? I have the fogs but no brackets. Anyone know where I can source the brackets?

Here are a couple of shots of the mounting config. if your valance is not damaged they mount directly to the MT1 valance before installation on the car.



Here is the diagram from REALOEMPARTS



not sure if brackets are available alone, but I believe the full assembly lamp/lense/bracket is still available from BMW. Part numbers 63171376935 and 63171376936 would get you everything you need, but are about $100 each.

it depends, they are same as m3 fog lights and can be mounted on euro valance as well as mt1 and of course m3's valances.

just looked at it and is sandwiched between euro valance and mt1 piece...

Not bad. I think they look better than their original version but that's just my opinion. Here's an OEM bought new in 2001.




AFAIK, the "BMW M Technic" badge was only made for US spec 771 "real" M technics. M tech 1 and 2 in europe probably just came with the standard "///M" badge added to the model.

Damn it! lol

I may need to sell these then...my goal is to mirror a euro mtech I version.

lol..just slightly off...thanks man.


here's the repros :)

Did mtech I's have badges or was that just an mtech II thing?
