- It's finally here, an affordable E30 MTech 2 body kit WITH instructions on how to install it on your E30!
In this video, we cover how to install the Mtech 2 front bumper on our K24 swapped E30. We will be covering the full MTech 2 body kit install video-by-video so stay tuned for the rest of the episodes as we release them!
FAQ -
Q: Will this fit my early model E30 with diving board bumpers?
A: This kit CAN fit early model E30's but in order to install it properly, you would need to convert to late model plastic bumpers. This means you would need late model bumper shocks, late model front valence, and late model bumper crash bars.
Q: What material are the bumpers made of?
A: ABS Plastic
Q: How is the fitment on these body kits?
A: Our body kits have great fitment out of the box and require only minimal work to fit perfectly on your E30. The fitment shown in the video is the bumper straight out of the box with no body work done to it and as you can see, the body lines match OEM very well with little to no extra work.

You are the best thank you for all the Mtech 2 body kit videos
That's what we're here for 🤝
Seems pretty nice. I have yet to see a video of the pods or skirts on the aftermarket mtechii kit. Can you post one?
We have an installed video releasing soon so stay tuned!
Should do a mtech 1 video for early model with euro bumpers.
We definitely intend on shooting an install tutorial on the MTech 1 kits!
Does the bumper attach to the valence at all? Is it really just held on with three screws? Does the bumper tie into the fenders too?
The front bumper slides into then lock into the side brackets which connect the fenders to the front valence 👍
@@garagistic How is it secured on the bottom?
My car has side markers originally. Do those get deleted? Or should I cut a hole in the bumper to fit them?
The side markers get deleted with the new Mtech 2 bumpers 👍
Please could you do an install video for the Mtech 2 wing
We have a video in the works that will briefly cover how the Mtech 2 wing is installed along with the other wings we offer 👍 stay tuned!
@@garagistic has it been posted yet?
@@konrad6559 Coming soon! Apologies for the delay
Are you going to do an mtech 1 video?
Any videos in the future for getting this kit on a early model setup?
Installation should be the same process but you would need to source late model bumper shocks + late model bumper crash bars. There may be a way to mount the bumper without those but it may require some custom mounting to make it work 👍
I’m trying to find those brackets that go in back of the reinforcement of all stock from my e30 because I can’t find them
Could I get them from E36 and make them fit
@@primopolanco1586 Are you referring to the bumper shocks? If you’re looking for oem bumper shocks or crash bars, we recommend searching your local used parts marketplaces to find a fairly priced used example instead of purchasing for a ton more new (if even available new).
The bumper guides/brackets that connect the bumper to the fender are still available new for fairly cheap online -

Would it be possible for a video for Mtech1 Install on an early model cabrio?
We're looking to do an Mtech 1 install series in the near future!
Video installing of Mtech 1 spoiler please 😬
We will be releasing a video soon showcasing how the different wings/trunk spoilers fit and are mounted 🤘
@@garagistic yes !!! perfect thank you
Is there side skirts that fit the convertible? I’m gonna order soon and heard they only work on coupes and 4doors.
1990 325i convertible. I’m seeing that I need late model parts?
The side skirts are not a direct bolt-on for convertibles due to the different rocker panels that convertibles have vs 2 door and 4 door E30s. For the front and rear bumpers, you must have late model front/rear bumper supports installed which our Mtech 2 bumpers fit over 👍
what would i need if i have an early model e30 with the diving boards and want to get an mtech 2 kit on ?
In order to install the MTech 2 kit on an early model, you would essentially need to do a front/rear late model plastic bumper conversion. To make the process as straight forward as possible, you would need a set of front/rear late model bumper shocks, crash bars, and front valence. The rear side door pods on the MTech 2 kit would also need to be slightly trimmed/modified in order to match the different wheel arch that early models have compared to late model E30's. We have had customers install the MTech 2 kit on their early models and it is definitely doable!
Hello, does your m3 style bumper fits the same way? Thanks
Yes
Is this being done on a early model ?
This is being done on a late model although the installation process will be very similar to an early model as long as you have the late model front crash bar, late model front bumper shocks, and late model bumper brackets.
I’m going to be installing it on my early coupe (87 ES). any tips? Video to come?
Installation should be the same process but you would need to source late model bumper shocks + late model bumper crash bars. There may be a way to mount the bumper without those but it may require some custom mounting to make it work 👍
@@garagistic I guess I was mainly referring to how the back will work out, if I will have to trim ends of bumper at wheel wells. But forgot this video was only for the front bumper
@@InventSmeLa For the rear bumper, they simply snap into place similar to the front bumper. There is no need to do any trimming 😉
@@garagistic you’re kidding?! Man I’ll be so happy if I don’t need to trim a brand new kit. Have you guys already fit a rear bumper to an early model?
Where did you order the front bumper?

Tried to buy one. It’s out of stock 😢
If you’re really wanting one I have one, might go mtech1 instead
We will be restocking these as soon as we can 👍
Will it fit with a 325e
Yes, it will but you will just need to do a late model bumper conversion. This includes a late model front bumper support, bumper shocks, bumper guides, and late model front valence to fit as intended.
Thank you so much
Wheels size sir?
They are 15x8 +28 with 25mm spacers and the tires are 205/50
They look so money
no life without zip ties
the 1st step is wrong. It should be:
Step 1 ATTEMPT to remove t55 torx bolts
*snap 2 t55 torx bits
*attempt to use a torch to heat bolts
*catch bumper carrier on fire
*snap 2 more torx bits
*have a beer
*go to home depot cuz all real auto parts stores close at 530
*get pissed because they dont have the right size
* have another beer
*cry
* wait for auto part store to open in am
*get pissed again because they dont sell the size
* load dynamite into engine bay
*push plunger
*buy real Mtech 2 car
😂😂 While we all have been there with some parts on our cars, we can assure you this install is really not too bad!
