The last car is a normal bumper with the bumpstrip and bumper colour coded.
A M-tech 2 has a bumper cover that has a recess in it...
The last car just has a M-Tech 2 front valance, door panels and skirts

the top car is a cabbie and they have different sills, therefore the normal tech2 kit doesn't fit (easily?) and so that cabbie has an alternate sill spoiler... E36?

no he doesn't mean that.. does he?
if you mean 'the bodykit that was an option attached by BMW to the pre-facelift cars' is mtech 1 then yes, if you mean chrome bumpers then no
it's been a long day for my brain

So the small brake light = mk1 (steel bumpers)
and the big brake light = mk2 (plastic bumpers)
first car is a mk1 with mk 2 bumpers
Right ?
