In that case, it isn't MTech!
Perhaps you mean facelift???
If my assumption is right, you'll have plastic bumpers.

Are the M Tech 2 kits difficult to get hold of? (I mean 2 door versions)

your car looks like it has an SE kit on it, skirts and boot spoiler, different to m-tech kit

plus it's the wrong colour to be a sport.

99% of cars with m-tech kits are 325 sports, they were the only car to come with this kit as standard, but the kit was a bmw option on all models so there are a few about which have has them fitted from new, retro fitted, or have some fibre glass wrongness copy non genuine kit fitted with self tapping screws by some scrote in the past

Easy way to tell from the picture Koos' car has rthe rubbing strips down the doors, mtech 2 does not as the kit comes half way up the door.

this is a tech 1 by the way with a facelift next to it.
