GunnarE30's 325i convertible build thread

[GunnarE30]

I hadn't seen a black MT2 car yet, I do really like this look too and it looks way better in black than in red (only other color I've seen it in) imo. So how simple is an MT2 kit for a '92 vert?

rear euro bumper will not fit on a late model unless you're doing some major modifications.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Do you know exactly why they won't fit?

I think you need to do a little more research. If you're trying to do a MT1 kit on your late model vert, you're in for a HUGE surprise. The front euro bumper will fit but the rear euro bumper will not fit on a late model unless you're doing some major modifications. Good luck Bud.

I would just get the mtech2 lower bumper spoiler and call it a day, even just a IS lip spoiler will be good.

Just a couple photos of it cleaned up a little. It's not as rough as I thought it was!

2mAn, Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/263024467790

I have the plastic front bumper though....

I have seen a couple m tech 1 and 2 verts... Im just confused. Thanks for your help man, but can you go a little more into detail as to why it won't work?

Edit: highly doubt it's an original, 99% sure it's reproduction

What you are getting that Javier was telling you is that the Mtech1 kit doesnt work with the later cars, and especially verts. The only part that will bolt up is the front and it still wont look right because of the chrome bumper on the front and plastic bumper on the rear.

Send me a link to the mtech1 kit :)

I like that fiberglass kit a lot, 2mAn! I still want the car to look nice and clean, I don't want some like of parts pieced together that's fast. The SBC is just easy to work on and powerful.

Thanks, IronJoe for the info! I'm subbed to your build and that's what made me really fall for the m3 cab look!

Javier, I found an MT1 kit on eBay for like $600, and that's the route I will most likely go unless I grab fiberglass flares. I don't plan to buy any body stuff yet. I want a running car first. So what kind of modifications are we talking for a 92 MT1 clone?

[2mAn]

He's throwing a SBC in there, so you might as well not worry about OEM stuff...

Buy this!

Good luck man, seems like a solid starting point for a project.


Unless you have some serious dough and/or great fab skills, I would recommend against the M3 cabrio route. Every other day I wish I hadn't done it!

Nice

An MT1 kit wont fit on a 92 e30 without some modifications.

Considering the difficulty in securing these parts, I'm thinking an M3 tribute might be the way to go...although some of those parts are nla.

[GunnarE30]

I'm starting to really like the looks of the m3 cabrio. Which do you guys think is the way to go? M technik 1 cabrio clone or m3 cabrio clone?

[GunnarE30]

Does anyone know where I can fin the clips for the door panel for the car? I need the little plastic tabs for the bottom of the passenger side panel.

Congrats, enjoy!
