I'm looking at buying a E30 touring and was wanting to put a M Tech 2 body kit on it but was wanting to know where to get one?


Was there ever a 4 door 325i Sport made or was the kit just a optional extra or an after market kit?

Thanks in advance

No such thing as a 4 door Sport, so you won't find a version with the side pods for a Touring. The Touring's side skirts are known as SE Skirts.

Front valances are interchangeable, but IIRC rear valances are not - something to do with the touring's rear bumper having longer arms so the lower valance doesn't fit.

No such thing as a 4 door sport (outside Birmingham :wink: ) but there is a 4 door Mtech 2 kit. Fits all 4 doors and tourings.

I've seen many pics of 4 doors with the M kit but where would i get one and what would it be classed as, is it OEM BMW or is it aftermarket?

Tourings occasionally left the factory with full mtec 2 kit fitted, including the now ridiculously valuable rear spoiler. I've a nice Laguna Green example amongst my collection.

Thanks Mr Moore, at least i know now that i'm looking for an OEM part lol

It would mainly be the door mouldings i'd be needing. Any idea if these bits will be hard to get due to the amount made?

I'd say it'll not be an easy one, but sure when is it ever? lol

Just found this pic, is that an M Tech spoiler? Doesn't look standard and as the car has the rest of the kit i'd say yes.
