which is hotter? M-tech vs Duke (pics) - Page 3 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

brandon @ eas · 12-28-2007, 04:07 PM

ya I guess I am being picky, but I have insane OCD, so if something is out of place, or in this case, seeing a little fiberglass ripple, or small crack etc, really stands out and seems to be magnified X10000!!! I just really love OEM fit, and the design of the m-tech's side openings, and that fact that it would eliminate all my scrapping issues!

with a car like johns or magmd's, there is no room for improvement, you lucky bastards!!!

lol, thanks bro, there's always room. You just gotta be content.

As for OCD, you're right, can't beat OEM fit. Go for it. I guess you can change it later with splitters or something. Just wanted to let you know, I think it looks good with the current kit. It's not something I would've chosen, but I can still appreciate it.

imaznumkay · 12-28-2007, 07:15 PM

personally never liked duke's kits, middle opening's wayy to wide and flat to begin with and the splitters just throw the corner lines off.
mtech ftw

WAYNEBO · 12-28-2007, 07:50 PM

mtech, cuz of the fogs. That is the kicker.

It was the Dukes, It was the Dukes....

Sorry, I'm such A newb & STILL confused here lol...

Please go into a little more depth...

Regardless both kit's look HAWT!

Please tell why you like whichever one better!

oem m tech it look smooth... duke one look kinda like m5

BMW DIET · 12-29-2007, 12:44 AM

dude you car looks great ! I really dont think you need to change anything but , that my opinion

d3l0n · 02-01-2008, 10:40 AM

I like mtech better, it gives it a mature look. Duke dynamics is indeed more aggressive, so if aggressive you want.. go duke! if you want a bit modest and different, go mtech!

m-technic

Duke is more aggressive, m tech is too subtle
