look in the driver's side wheel well facing towards the front of the car. If you have a square cutout with fins in it, you have an oil cooler.

its not the driver's side, its the passenger side.

I would be interested if it is the right price. Mine is a 328, so no oil cooler.

Yeah good idea unfortunately he doesn't offer them with PDC and we have some interested parties with a need for that...

Craig, PDC can be retrofitted very easily to the M-Tech rear. The non-PDC bumper has template indentations for the PDC holes on the inside so you just need to drill them out and buy the 4 plastic PDC holder things separately. Longtran did this is to a bumper I sourced from RRGOO7 and it looks perfect.

Craig@SupremePower · 06-18-2008, 11:45 AM

Ohh cool i'll feel him out if he's interested in running a GB and we can go from there... thanx bro!!

Yep finding that out now. Just trying to get the bumper itself, the rest should be fairly easy to get after that....

I think some parts yes and some no. Most of these parts show up in Tischer's Database, which doesn't necessarily mean they can get them, but it is likely. However, I think we are best off finding a source familiar with the M-Tech kit and get all the parts ordered from 1 place so its manageable should something go wrong. I found a few places in Europe and Canada that are happy to provide the front bumper, but not very helpful when it comes to all the piece we need for a full retrofit.

Hey man I'm also thinking I could talk with Duke of e92kits and see if he can help out with PDC rears b/c he is in Canada. I'm sure he would be more than happy to help out if you guys are down to buy the CF diffusers he sells

RRGOO7 is a great guy to deal with though.

Is this painted or primed or neither?

Sorry I just jumped to the last thread instead of reading through...laziness on my part

primed only. i could probably work out a painted GB, but it would make things difficult and increase the wait for all.

billspreston · 06-18-2008, 01:21 PM

UPDATE
I've been in contact with several vendors in Canada, Germany and Austria. Fartpimpson is also looking into some of his contacts. The vendors all seem very willing to source us with the front bumper, but aren't very helpful with the conjunction parts, which I expected.

I've contacted Evan @ Tischer to see if he can put a package of these smaller parts together for us as many of them were showing up in his Database. He was going to confirm which of the parts he can get for us. Hopefully this will not only make things easier to obtain, but also cheaper. We can order what we can from Evan and present the International Vendors with a more concise list of parts. Evan will also help research exactly what parts we need to make sure that list I posted is correct

I will keep this thread updated as I continue to find out more info to make sure you all stay interested
