This model was produced for a short time of 6-10 months and most were either grey, silver or black. They differ from the tech 2 by looks and cabin accessories but in the main they are not so different. This tech 1 is in lachs silver and showing the standard kit front apron and side skirts and rear apron and colour-coded boot spoiler. The trim is grey houndstooth but did also come in leather. This is becoming harder to find now so if you have any hang on to it, most drivers seats have the usual bolster wear. Inside you have tech 1 steering wheel and sports seats, black headlining and all usual refinements are not standard as with any bmw you could ask for electric bits to be added - such as windows and sun-roof the one above does not have electric windows but does have electric sun-roof.

As for the model in general this is now possibly a very rare model, even more so than the tuning houses of hartge etc as they produced cars through out the models life this was made then stopped to be superseded by the later tech 2. This model does not appear in the parkers classic car buyers guide, this model was not present, the tech 2 was but from 1988 on so this model will only rise in price.

The switches and plugs on the early cars do differ that from the face-lift cars as does the water pump, radiator , expansion system so expect some differences.
 
  
Also the rust can be a lot worse on early cars. And it's everywhere and does not only stay in one place, most common are front and rear jacking points rear wheel arches inside and also on the lip under the rear apron towing eye. Front floor pans both sides and also under the fuse box also in engine bay unerwings. So, take care to look when purchasing them as this could be a headache unless you are good at welding.

This model was produced for a short time of 6-10 months and most were either grey, silver or black. They differ from the tech 2 by looks and cabin accessories but in the main they are not so different. This tech 1 is in lachs silver and showing the standard kit front apron and side skirts and rear apron and colour-coded boot spoiler. The trim is grey houndstooth but did also come in leather. This is becoming harder to find now so if you have any hang on to it, most drivers seats have the usual bolster wear. Inside you have tech 1 steering wheel and sports seats, black headlining and all usual refinements are not standard as with any bmw you could ask for electric bits to be added - such as windows and sun-roof the one above does not have electric windows but does have electric sun-roof.

As for the model in general this is now a very rare model, even more so than the tuning houses of hartge etc as they produced cars through out the models life this was made then stopped to be superseded by the later tech 2. This model does not appear in the parkers classic car buyers guide, this model was not present, the tech 2 was but from 1988 on so this model will only rise in price.
