Guys what do you think of the M635csi pre-highline with the M-tech body kit which consist's of skirts and rear bumper?
My project came with the m-tech kit as pre-facelift M635's have the M6 front bumper but this came with the above as well (skirts and rear bumper). seen some pics with it on and without, im in two minds! what do you think guys?
Struggling to upload photos, guess this would help.

Very fussy and nasty and spoils the simple elegance of the pre highline cars. Get it served to a council type pronto .

I love the look of the MTec front bumper, but the rest of the kit is awful! Ruins the look of the E24 imo!

WITHOUT!!! Pete, Simon, Barry and I discussed this very subject at Gaydon. The M Tech kit on the rear looks like a complete sack of shit. Fronts not bad but Petes right. The pure elegance of a 6 is ruined by any kit. Even a highline looks "wrong" to me!

Looks like a Tech 1 sport rear bumper but bigger to me!

It should have the front and rear spoiler. What do you mean by bumpers? The M-tech kit is only the front spoiler, rear spoiler, side skirts and rear skirt. The bumpers are the same. Some after market kits included the bumpers.
Keep the front and rear spoilers. Ditch the rest. The side skirts in particular are rare and sell well.

Absolutely ruins the E24 imo!

Cecotto, kit above which Ollie has kindly hosted for us is what I mean. looks like I have called the rear valance a rear bumper.
So what do you think Guys?
I'm not sure about the the rear valance, but skirts!

That valance just bolts on to the bumper like the front spoiler and hides th standard rear valance.
Awful IMO. But as I said, they do sell well. Let me know if you're selling.

I think the sideskirts and front spoiler look good the sideskirts give the car a chunky look i have had them on a few of highlines and make a massive difference. I currently have a set and am in 2 minds wether to put them on my hihgline or sell them as ceecotto said they do sell like hot cakes!

The only place to put a set of E24 side skirts is eBay.

The 6 Series looks like a Dalek with that awful bodykit. On a par with the TWR XJS bodykit, ruining a classic bodyshape with plastic shee-it.
