would like to know your thoughts on this..
i have just bought a 318is in lazurblau, its missing its front lip spoiler.
would it be worth more money as a standard 318is or if i M tec it?? if it was a 318i then i wouldnt think twice about the M tec kit.
thoughts on a postcard, or post them here please

need to remember now rear wheel drive when approaching wet roundabouts
I prefer the iS lip personally- it has more of an understated look 
I would usually go for the iS lip but I think Lasur blue iS' can look abit plain with just the lip and maybe se skirts whereas the Tec 2 kit really makes a difference to them.
Just gives them so much more presence since it's one of the more discreet colours.

There is 2 lazur blue 318is's near me - B'trds! LOL, I am only jealous.
One has SE side skirts and an Tech2 rear spoiler. It looks ok, but I prefer the other which is standard except has a Tech 1 rear spoiler.
Mine has proved to be faster than both
Although maybe I am braver than them?

Tech 2 kit on lazurblaur with no spoiler = 
Not in E30s any more 
Tech 2 body kit was an option available new on all facelift E30's.
Schuey had a red 318iS with factory tech 2 body kit.
BMW should have made laser blue sports!

You dont want a ironing board on the back of your car. Tech 1 spoiler some is sideskirts and a volvo front lip. Very nice with 15" bbs on 195 or 205 50's.
