what kit is that?

[Jimbob]

Nice, where abouts are you from? Is that 186bhp at the wheels or flywheel?

[nikos]

the kit is original bmw, made of plastic as the m tech2. I have never seen it either before the day I discovered it, stocked; anyway it is mentined in bmw parts and I was told that was much more expesive than the m tech2 and never sold for this reason. From the warehouse I bought it, there are a couple more to sell For the side skirts and the rear apron -front apron doesnt exist- I paid 300 euros (9 pieces) and came complet with the original instructions and everything needed, glue included, but due to the long time stocked the glue was useless. The front poiler is original alpina through the german site and costed 400 euro. If anyone is interested to get one you can let me know
The 186 hp is on the wheel. is not much only 16 more that the 325 and after 5500 the engine drops. I believe that a different set up would give more than 200 and 27 kgr
I am located in athens- greece and I live near the seaside, in voula
long time ago, I used to work in your NHS

I just added the dyno data inthe picture gallery, blue is torque, pick on 4100 and 30.3 starting with 23 on 1800 almost. Pick power is 186 on 5400 and is the green line and yes you are correct is on the flywheel

heya, I can see a pic of the E36 M3 X brace. Is that the original BMW part? Does it really bolt straight onto an E30? I have an E30 convert as well and was wondering if this would fit!!

I know you have to install some nutserts but is that all you had to do???

[nikos]

yes , it is the original item and you just bolt it on. Tt was mentioned on total bmw and and so I did it.
cheers NG

The front section is Alpina, but the rest doesnt look like BMW fitments.

Have you got the part number to that cross brace?
