Update to my e30, I think I'll be moving over to the project forum for the rest of my updates but wanted share my recent purchase. When I bought the mtech kit it was missing a drivers sideskirt. I was about to buy it from the dealer but waited a week to see if I could find it elsewhere. I lucked out and was able to find another one local to me with some extras. I'll be parting out the rest once I get time to tear it down.
It's a 92 325i mtech II 5spd
- heated seats
-14" white mtech wheels
- 120k original miles
- dealer installed bmw alarm came with 1 remote and actually still works
- bmw 6 disc changer in the trunk
- motor had headgasket changed at the dealer at 60k
- runs really good tranny shifts nice.
Now the sad part,
It was tapped in the left rear very minor damage not even noticeable most of the damage was on the trunk lid but was totaled by insurance company. Currently has salvage title. Would have restored this one instead if it wasn't salvaged but not worth it since I can't get classic insurance when I'm done.
Oh well at least I got my side skirt and the rest will hopefully be sold to recoupe the rest of my money from buying the car.

I was about to shell out almost 400 for one sideskirt so I thought if I bought this instead and sold the rest parted out I'll make my money back.
I'll probably recover the seats myself then post them up for sale once their done.
Time is at a premium for me having a newborn and a toddler to look after but looking to part this out in the next few weeks.
Things I'm keeping will be most likely the bmw alarm, drivers side skirt, foglights, cruise, obc, cd changer,
The rest will be up for grabs big items like the bumpers will be local sale since shipping would be a pain.

Sounds good! So how much did he sell it to you, you can me pm if you want to keep that private. I was there when it sold, so I can tell you if you made a good deal. :up:

A few folks have pm'd me about the kit. I haven't decided if I'll sell the remaining pieces or keep them as spares.
For now I might sell them last after parting the rest out.
I'll contact the interested parties in the order I received the posts and pm's if I decide to sell. What would be included is front and rear bumper, door & fender pods and passenger side skirt. Missing pieces will be drivers side skirt and front lower spoiler. Off the top of my head price would probably be about $750-800 for all the remaining pieces may part out.
I'm selling my plastic bumpers off my other vert if anyone is interested but I won't ship due to the work invloved. pm me for more info if you're insterested.

Update to my vert project. Due to my busy schedule with work and family I decided to not go with the mtech kit and have it up for sale now.
I'm going to go with an IS front spoiler euro bumper trim and euro parts to finish it off.
Installed euro smileys, grills and headlight wiper system complete with motors wiring and water tank.
going to go with an anlog clock, euro rear fog light with switch and euro cluster which are all waiting to be installed once I have some time.
installed Borbet type A's 16 x 9's bought a fender roller and rolled all the fenders to clear the tires.
Selling my stock sport vinyl seats front and rear and will be installing late model gti recaros I got from sennasixty8 and will recover them along with my spare rear seat in grey ultra suede
I sold my plastic bumpers so I had to get another set to replace them which I'll be painting back to sterling silver once I have some time.
Here's some updated pics of how it looks now.
