Hmmm, tough one that is.
I think the 1 has to be better, looks more "tough" and old skool

Tech 2 is smoother, more refined, but more ricey at the same time.
Tech 1 is muscle. Not American muscle mind you, herman the german muscle. The bad arse look goes along way in my book. Chrome bumpers all the way!
But then, I like the lack of rust on the Tech 2s.
But then I hate the big tail lights on Tech 2s.
So, small lights, no rust, tech 1. With Tech 2 steering wheel of course, not Tech 1 steering wheel.

I love the 'hardcore' look of the techI but, the smooth lines of the techII are the ones I favour.

Tech 1 all the way. It's muscular in an 80's German kinda way, and just looks like it has attitude. 2's are nice, but I prefer the rareness of the 1 too.

Had a tech2, but if I was to own another sport it would be a tech1.
Just look how fantastic Reedy's and Wilson325i's tech1's look!!!!!!!!!
Class muscle, tech2's just look a bit soft/pansy against these two cars!!!!!!!

Im still undecided about whichj I prefer best.....
I think colour is important on these cars......I really believe that black suits the E30 best
I prefer the bodykit on the M Tech 1....but prefer the rear and m tech 2 spoiler from the later sport!
But everyone keeps telling me that the M tech 1 is a quicker car......still undecided which I prefer though

MTech1 for me. I don't like the rear spoiler or the side panels on the MTech2.
Mind, I 'spose it's academic(sp?) as I run a Touring!
As a matter of interest, if I didn't need the space of the Touring, I'd go for a face-lift 4-door with a MTech1 rear spoiler and an iS lip

I am getting more partialled to the tech 1 front spoiler, but would retain tech 2 sides and rear, possibly with tech 1 boot spoiler
