yes

I know the confusion you mean. M-tech II front bumper will fit and so will the rear as the convertables have the same rear arches as the post 88 e30's.

yep

Even though I have a cab with the tech II spoiler, I do agree they look better without one. Im just waiting until I have the tech I kit put on before I remove the spoiler.

Thanks guys.

Re: M Tech Cab

There is a kit for Coupe/Sedan and another for the convertible. Being in Australia, these M tech I kits are rare as. I picked up one for my car but it was for a coupe/sedan.

apparantly the m-tech II kit fits a pre-facelift cab better. but I assume you don't have the cab.

i've been looking into this too, there is a good guide over at:

M-tech II on cab
