M-Tech Thread

Dumb question but does anyone have a list of everything that made up the MTech 1 package? I have the full kit and door sills. Even the small diameter wheel. Is there anything else? Wheels? Interior? Thanks

I would say the m-technic dead pedal is a must, but good luck finding one. I thought I snagged one, but it was an e28 version.

Ahh yes! That's a unicorn. So is that my only missing part? Thanks Rob

Shadow Line with painted bumpers and blacked out rubber molding's ?

Also, has anyone M pinstriped the grooves within ridges of mt1 kit? just wondering.

Thanks. My bumpers came chrome but I opted to paint them black. Im torn between the two finishes but I have a set of chrome bumpers coming in if i ever want to swap it out.

My only problem with the mtech 1 kit is the trunk spoiler. I am surprised that it didnt continue the ridges as it does on the e28 trunk spoiler.

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

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?

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.
