Tech 1 Sport. Met Gold??

[hubble]

Did BMW ever have a metallic gold Tech 1 sport as part of there colour scheme?

[B7]

Blimey, come to think of it, I've never seen one. Why do you ask mate? Seen one?

[hubble]

Morning Trevor. I was just thinking about my first BMW, then remembered when I went too see what I thought was a gold Mtech 1, but Now thinking about it I don't think they did one.

[B7]

I have to say that people always bo on about Kashmir and Bronzit Beige wrongness, but I actually quite like them on a really clean 2 door. Very period and suits the shape IMO.

[zaust]

No. But I was very close to reshelling into a brronzit c reg shell last year, so there was nearly one lol.

[hubble]

Ahhh I wonder if it cold have been bronze...Oh well not to worry

I got this picture out of a factory M-tech1 brochure/folder (whatever you want to call it) But i can't tell if it is a bronzit car or a silver car?

I reckon thats silver, and the colour shadowing is making it look bronze

surely bmw didnt make one bronze, we would have seen one then

That car in the pic could be bronzit beige as i doubt it is a tech1 sport due to the bottle tops. It probably is a run of the mill model like a 320i se being used to demostrate Mtechnic parts like the body kit and suspension.

Hmmm Bronzit beige 2dr, soon to be broken!

tech 1's were dolpin,lachs and diamond only

[jamie325isport]

surely you could spec any colour you wanted? for a price

[bss325i]

Another thing to note is that the side skirt does not continue up the wheel arch like normal tech 1 skirts do. Looks like the side skirt fitted to the South African only 333i.

[Simon13]

not on sports they had a fixed range of colours there was no bmw individual back then

[JasonC]

They got red ones pictured on the back of the page that i posted earlier. I know car companys don't allways put out what they have pictured in these brochure/folders though.

Its a convertible though, not a tech 1 sport. (the red one)

I bought a set of 'bottletops' from Capri Rob a few weeks back. He had a metalic gold Tech 1 in his (carpeted) garage....no idea what the colour code sticker says....or would it be just an 'ordinary' 2 door 325i as I seem to remember chrome bumpers as well?

The 325i Sport is a UK model only, Dolphin Grey, Lachs Silver and Dullmond black.
In Germany though you could get almost the same car called a 325i 'Sportpaket' (Sport Package) which is the same thing but without the LSD and with Boge shocks. This is available in any colour you like and a couple were specced up with LSD's and privately imported. I used to know of a Zinnober red D plated Sport, RHD as well. The V5 just said 325i but it had everything down to the black headlining and the slipper.

I've always liked the idea of a red tech1 sport.

[Andyboy]

It was a nice thing but predictably rotten.

What's wrong with the Bronzit 2 door?

Not alot really, front brakes, thats it really. I feel guilty breaking it!

[Simon13]

If someone wants to pay me what its worth in parts then they can but no one will.
