Hi Guys and Gals

It's been almost a month since I had the M-tech aero installed. My wife still hasn't notice it despite the fact that she rides in the car everyday. Just curious to see how your other half reacts when you mod

Bunbun.

Great question. I will take delivery on 4/18/2005. Already ordered the M euro kit, having it painted next week, and will install before I leave with the car. That way, IT DID COME WITH THE CAR. Wheels will be another story. We will see.

I don't have a better half yet, so I am collecting my toys and modifying now.

Going to enjoy it as long as I can.

LuvE60,

How did you get about getting the M aerodynamic kit? Are you getting all the
components including side skirts? Who is installing it?

I am taking delivery in munich on june 1st. I would like to get the M aero kit on the car as early as possible. My dealer knows nothing about it.

Thanks.

My dealer didnt know anything about it either. Make him look in his system. I did take the part numbers in that I got from this forum, and they were in his system. He ordered it for me, it cost about $1600.00 for everything. I bought the entire kit, but I may sell the rear end on Ebay. I kind of want dual exhaust, so I may do a rear end that supports it.

When the kit comes in, he is sending it over to one of the paint shops they use. Painting is going to run me about $1500.00. I am paying a premium, but these guys have done work for me before. It is flawless, and I want it done right.

I do all my business at Rusnak in Westlake Village CA. I know that someone else on the forum ordered his from Century West BMW in North Hollywood, CA. They may actually still have a kit in stock because they ordered two. I will try to find the guys name for you to call. It takes about 4 weeks to get the kit from Germany.

Hope this helps,

Matt

Looks like Hobi got them on your car. Can't wait to get mine.

How did it look for the lighted SMG knob??
