This morning I got a shitty surprise to find some light fingered motherfucker in the night had decided they liked my M-Tech 2 rear bumper, side skirts and right side door pods and stole them off my mint e30 325i sport.

They were and mint and had just been re-sprayed whilst the car got a full respray. I'm asking if everyone on here could look out for ANY one selling a mint, super clean, freshly resprayed rear bumper, side skirts and door pods for a original RED 325i e30 sport M-Tech 2.

If there found there’s a potential reward in there for you”¦

Guess the car isn't for sale anymore like :cry:

Thanks
Marc

More that likely these parts were needed for someone else in you areas e30 have you seen any around that look like they could of needed them???

if you have go and have a look and see if they are now no longer needed..
Then if they now have them i'd take it as they are your parts..

sorry to hear about your loss.

I think that will not be going up for sale any time soon, that was stolen to order or they would have taken the lot otherwise. IMHO

Still bad though and feel for you, belive in carma he'll get his one way or another

Hi sorry to read about your lost.There are so many knobs out there it is so easy for them to take it from somebody else!The parts have more than likely gone on a non sport or a damaged tech 2 by now.Goodluck with putting your car back together.
They don't make bm's like this anymore!..They should.

Sorry to hear this.

I doubt you will see the parts come up for sale. As said above they will have been stolen to order.

Everyone needs to keep a look out for bright red 325i Sports then.

My mate lives in Derby - I'll tell him to keep an eye out.

Thanks for all the help and support guys I REALLY appreciate it! :D
My dad left for work really early this morning and caught the milkman and asked him about it. He knew straight away what my dad was going to ask him about and he said the reason they actually got away with less was because when they saw him they all ran off with what they had into a nearby alleyway. (prolly to a van)

how the feck did they get all of it off?? or is it that you have taken off what was left??

i remember years ago a guy i knew had a red iS with all the M tech dstuff and they nicked most of the sides but coundnt get it all off as its bolted to the wing...

i know the odd M tech II Front apron gets taken (from my own personal experience) - didnt think they still nick whole kits nowadays - that got me well para now... :x :x :eek: :x :x

I just cannot believe they would do that in such a place where anyone could see them... Atleast they didn't get the front end eh!

Nope that's what they took, they didn't make a mess they knew how to take it off quickly and well not ripping or damaging anything. I know most of the guys around my local area with e30's it's only a matter of time until I find out who did it. :x


I'm going to tidy up some of the surface now the bodykit is off anyway :D

It's good to see there are some people on here who are actually descent and are being super helpful towards this matter :D

Nowdays people tend to be just lying theives :x

Gutted for you mate.

At least it was done cleanly (lookin at the photies). Dont look like there is any dents or gashes in the exposed bodywork. So you dont have to get anything sprayed again do you (except replacements)?

Cheeky buggers. If you find out who did it.. chop their hands off as town325i said.

Marc,

I'm so sorry to hear this fella. Nothing is sacred anymore. It's disgusting. The sad thing is, it's obviously been robbed for another E30 owner, who obviously understands the amount of work that goes into owning an E30 of the condition yours is in and at what expense. It makes my blood boil to hear of other zoners cars being mutilated for another E30 owners sick gratification.

I hope you manage to get everything sorted mate.
