Also, are the white reflectors legal?

Where can I get these things, and how much would it cost?

First time I've heard a body kit is illegal... dealers are now installing them on the cars right now.

Reflectors, I'm not sure myself.

Mtech kit from Tischer, a sponsor in this forum. Had it shipped up from US via UPS ground, kit itself is cheaper than here in TO. Had it installed at Budd's which I think did a great job colour matching. Kit came to about 1200 cad shipped and dutied. Install depends on who u use.

The euros I got from a member in the forum who redirected me to a site in Germany. Price around $1300

what is your next mod gonna be Kev??

halB · 10-10-2007, 01:55 PM

If a Canadian BMW dealer carries it, it's most likely legal for Canada. So the E90 M-Tech kit should be legal here.

The E92/93 M-Tech kit (like the one in my convertible), however, does not meet certain Canadian requirements (not sure whether it is the bumper itself or the lack of reflectors, or both) and therefore you cannot buy it from dealers here. See this letter from BMW Canada:

Thought about the M Tech front splitters, but still not sure about that. I would get them painted to match.

Maybe new rims for the summer next year?

Wanted the M3 lip spoiler but it looks too big compare to the E46s.

I have yet to get my passenger side xenon fixed and my fog angles adjusted, not to mention the alarm and LUX 4.0 that's sitting right next to me and in the garage right now.

Thought about getting a bunch of body panels wrapped with 3M sheild...

Then again, the money I've spent on the car, I can probably buy a 335 for the same money

then you will start modding the 335 and with the money you will spent...you can probably buy a M3 for the same money...

A beautiful story with no definite ending. I am all in for it....

yuggy · 10-12-2007, 03:04 PM

yeah it's a viscious cycle!

man...i still want the M-tech rear bumper..still keeping an eye out for one.

halB · 10-12-2007, 06:55 PM

But once you get the M3, there's nothing left to modify!

Perhaps I should get into an M5 after the M3, but then the price difference is huge between them.

I don't need that kind of performance on the street, so it is kind of pointless driving a car with that much power.

Pretty happy with what I have right now.

Boy I love this magazine ad:

I agree with you 100%. Every time I see this ad, I have a smile.

ON325i · 10-14-2007, 08:41 AM

The best ad ever from Porsche to me is something like

"We don't know who invented speed bumps
but pretty sure they are not Germans"
