E92 M-Tech kit install finally finished!!

Johnny Lin · 10-22-2007, 01:17 AM

Looks real good! M Tech always look good on any 3 series. Nice!

328i4me · 10-22-2007, 02:52 AM

Wow, looks great!

OC Guy · 10-22-2007, 03:03 AM

Looks good, I remember telling someone painting the rear diffuser wouldn't look bad. Reminds me of the E46 M3 (how it is painted).

Puderzo · 10-22-2007, 07:42 AM

Could you perhaps take a few pictures of the rear from farther away or with the car standing on different ground? On your earlier pictures the diffuser is so shiny it shows a reflection of the ground instead of the actual color. I'm trying to get an overall feel for how the painted diffuser looks on Space Grey.

As I've got a Space Grey M-Sport E92 335xi on order (Europe

) I'm contemplating whether I should paint or not. Haven't seen pictures of an unpainted M-Sport diffuser on Spage Grey yet, so comparison is of course hard nevertheless, but this would help one way at least.

Awesome! (Great pictures BTW).

shragon · 10-22-2007, 12:01 PM

looks fantastic! congrats!

brandon @ eas · 10-22-2007, 12:04 PM

wow, looks so amazing! please post more pics, further away etc etc!!

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

you mean the bumper itself is different on other non-turbo models?
on etk it says that they all use part no. 51118041200

did you have to change air ducts, and fender liners?

No the bumper is the same on turbo and non-turbos alike. Its the inside ductwork for the oil cooler and brakes that are different. And of course yes, it comes with new brake ducts, oil cooler duct, fender liners and under belly pan to fit w/o any cutting.

I bought mine from MW Design too. Mine was one of the very first one ordered and shipment was delayed about a month because MW Design had to figure out some of the specific parts. At the end all the parts were correct when I receive them. My body shop said they had a bit of a struggle fitting the front bumper around the turbo intercooler but they got it done. Here are some pics of mine:

That looks great man! You see now on your car, since you have a much darker color, the rear diffuser does not look bad at all unpainted. Did your body shop have to cut some of the ducts in order to make it fit?

Sure no problem. Yea those were quick shots at work so I'll try and get some better ones up soon.

Thanks. I just got my nikon D40 and have been dying to take some pics of my car. I'm still trying to get familiar with manual mode but for now, some of the auto modes work pretty well. It was too sunny out that morning so they looked kinda washed out. If anyone has any experience with this camera, I'd love some beginners tips.

Wow, your car looks incredible man...Nice combo with the side skirts. Love the front bumper. Are you planning to get the rear as well? BTW how did you do your black window trim??? That's next on the list for me.

Two questions. 1. Do you mean the hard plastic cover underneath the car when you say "under belly pan?" 2. Is the fog light housing on the passenger's side closed like it is on the driver's side, or opened?

Tx, the kit looks awesome and I'm glad you got MWDesign to get the parts to you (like they should have in the first place!). I had to cut n' shit, but was still worth it.

thanks Digi! after seeing your car, I really want that front and rear now. My black window trim was done with black matte vinyl wrapped over it!

Damn that is so hot. i love the sideskirts especially - they are So evil lookin

Do the Mtech foglights still use H8 bulbs?

Queenskid24 · 10-22-2007, 07:42 PM

i love the front but thats about it, for some reason i just cant get myself to like the skirts or the rear.

335rocket · 10-22-2007, 07:50 PM

I love it. Mine will be on soon

Mike@MWDesign · 10-22-2007, 07:50 PM

Not sure what did my bodyshop do. They just said they had a bit of problem fitting the front piece around the turbo cooler but they got it gone.

The foglights came with bulbs and they are supposed to be H8. I gave my bodyshop a pair of GP Thunder 8500K H8's as replacement but they gave them back to me saying that the prongs are different. Haven't had time to take out the one that came with the kit to compare yet.

digi · 10-22-2007, 11:30 PM

Here are some better shots of the rear as requested.

ironic · 10-22-2007, 11:39 PM

looks good

PIMPIN THE E92 · 10-23-2007, 03:02 PM

I like the front bumper but not really a fan of the back IMO. Get a CF difuser

Yukon Dave · 10-23-2007, 03:30 PM

Can you please post the part numbers for the E92 M-Tech kit for the 335 and 328 so others do not need to learn German as well.

Thanks

Yukon Dave · 10-23-2007, 03:45 PM

I go to the website and can not find a phone number for MW Design or what state they are in.

Anyone know how to contact MWDesign?

Anyone know how much the 335 Kit costs?

Anyone know the part number for the right kit for the 335?

Thanks all
