[Ant]

Re the Ring, Ave lad, will book a bed or two next week with you if that's coolio

[e30topless]

TECH II is infinitely better.

the Tech 2 is rank ! I hate them

[Dezzy]

Have to agree the kit itself is ok but the rear ironing board is fooking turd!

[bss325i]

TBH as mine's Alpine White II I think it needs the black contrast from the Tech 1 on the boot , hence being sat on the fence for now lol !

Sooooo when we gonna see some pics?!

Btw, im pretty sure the Alpina spoiler come like a tech 1, ie a black tip and a body coloured section all be in in primer.

That would also contrast just like a tech 1 spoiler, just put it on and forget that tech 1 nonsense!

Tech 2 spoilers a nice but ONLY with a full tech 2 kit, they look stupid without the rest of the kit

[bss325i]

Am I the only one in thinking this spoiler is grotesque?

Nope, me too, but I guess it compliments the equally grotesque Alpina front spoiler.

So do you big gays not like tech 1 boot spoilers either?

[Royalratch]

Not really no.

I don't like the TECH II spoiler that much either but it's better than that daffy duck thing you're excited about lol.

That spoiler makes it look really really dated. The only spoiler I really like is the iS one to be honest.

[bss325i]

Dated? Its a 1980's ride!

[DanThe]

The only spoiler I really like is the iS one to be honest.

[Royalratch]

That's why I said very very dated as in not of the same era even. It looks a bit add-on, aftermarket and just too tray hard. Totally out of the E30 design language.

My taste is unquestionable anyway so to hell with you all.

[bss325i]

Unquestionably dubious.

toys out again,you do have a nack in turning threads upside down.

[Royalratch]

I was kidding obviously dude.

Need to use more often...

[harry_p]

doesnt work for me, sorry.

just about looks ok on the smaller bumper cars, looks terrible with the tech 2 stuff. overall i think the tec1 spoiler looks better on all

How can you say tech 1 spoilers look better, they are near enough the same!

You are wrong, this rocks!

[magpie]

two inches more

[Simon13]

no kit FTW

its almost like a tech 1 kit on a facelift. The best of both worlds!

[Rav335uk]

To me it looks like a Tech 1 wannabe, and if you look at it, it is, invented after the the origional Tech 1 from BMW

[Felix79]

Barry any idea on the dates which Alpina started using the above spoiler over the one I have?

[sweep]

I keep trying to tell myself theres nothing wrong with my tech one....

[Dezzy]

I keep trying to tell myself theres nothing wrong with my tech one....

As you look for the dealers number on your phone and your credit card?

[sweep]

I have a fully colour coded tech 1 which looks the buisness.....but ive wanted one of these for ages...i may need to sell my pre facelift motor..wonder how much the hartge rocker cover will fetch.

[DanThe]

To me it looks like a Tech 1 wannabe, and if you look at it, it is, invented after the the origional Tech 1 from BMW

Like you chromie tech2 wannabe

[martyyn]

Ive got both a tech I and an Alpina spoiler to go on my 'is'.

As much I love all things Alpina its the tech I on it at the moment because I just cant bring myself to put Alpina bits on a none Alpina car !

M badges on a non M car are also very council ........

In the UK, the official importer for Alpina was Sytners and they used to sell models only available in the UK such as the E23 B10 3.5 seven series.

One package they offered was the "Alpina 3" which was a styling package of Alpina 16" alloy wheels, front and rear Alpina spoilers, Alpina steering wheel and gear knob, ALPINA script badge on the rear and an Alpina key fob.

This was available for any E30.

As Pete says, putting an M badge on a non M car is just as bad if not worse. Its just about passable on a 325i Sport but anything else is a no no.

[DmcL]

[pacerpete]

Bronzit with golf stylee roof bars is pushing the boundaries of taste and decency a bit as well ...........

[spook]

That Alpina spoiler looks the bollocks stick it on Bazza.

[martyyn]

Haha, in my defence BMWNZ stick M badges on pretty much everything over here. The number of e46 318i's with motorsport kits and badges is huge.

Its the only way they can sell them and Ive even had a BMW dealer try to tell me they are genuine motorsports just because they have the kit optioned from new.

But youre right it shouldnt be on the 'is' and I know it shouldnt be on the car, but I quite like it so it stays

[bss325i]

...but I quite like it so it stays

As does my plethora of genuine Alpina parts.

The flaming cheek!

A 325i Sport is a UK only lash up of some nice bits dreamed up by dealer marketeers.

The 318iS is a factory released GLOBAL Sport model which had sport interior, suspension, trim from factory as specified by BMW (not Gordon up in Marketing!) and a unique engine with proper motorsport input and later on a full-on race version in the S42!

If anything, the 318iS has more right to an M badge than the 325i Sport!

M badges are council on everything including M3s.

In europe excluding the UK, they didnt have sport interior

A sport has more M technic parts than an iS.

Sport also has an LSD where as with an iS its an option.

Oh yeah, the sport was also available in Australia, South Africa, Japan (badged 325iS) and in Europe but in Europe is was called the M technic sport paket.

MrLEE on here has a Jap spec 325i Sport.

A bit more global than you might think mr ratch!

Not only that, the M20B25 was used in competetive motorsport but the M42 wasn't.
