M-Tech kit and pictures

How much does it cost to buy and install a full M-Tech kit?

If anyone wants to share some pictures of E92s with full kits, I wouldn't mind.

Tischer sells the kit

Call a body shop for a paint estimate

Install yourself

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm too busy for all that BS.

Not looking for anything too precise, just an estimate. I understand it's $2,195 at port and about $2,500 at the dealer on new car purchases. Any different on used cars?

Seriously though. Tischer has the best price. Paint shops in the DC / Baltimore Metro area vary so much in price that you really will need to call around. Installation is easy if you give yourself a few hours, and you will save money.


Msport pics are all over the board. You will find them.

You're right about that. I use them all the time for my 328is. So much, in fact, that I have to get rid of it!

tischer can definitely get you the best price. installation is easy to DIY. you can click on my sig for some pictures of my m-tech front and rear (no sideskirts, as I've set my sights on the m3 ones)

I assume ballpark, it should cost around $2500 or so for the kit and paint. Installation might be more than that, but it is easy.

I've already done my front, and will have the side skirts and rear bumper installed tomorrow with LTBMW

Complete parts/paint/install will probably run you about $2800+/- a $150 or so.

I was considering the M3 sides also, but wanted a perfect fit from inside and outside, so decided to stay Mtech all the way.

Some say it's not worth it, b/c it's just a cosmetic upgrade, but it makes a big difference to the appearance of the e9xs IMO; hence, I chose to do it. Finally, I think it's one of the mods that actually increases value to your car, rather than decreasing the value. And in the end, you can easily recoup some of your $ back should you choose to sell it.

We also now offer an aftermarket version of the front bumper which would make the overall kit a bit cheaper.

Does that include all the underbody and wheel well panels?

It is just the bumper cover, the OE parts would need to be purchased separately.

These don't come up for sale very often. I would definitely pay more for a car with it.
