    Newby here. Looking to get a fun weekend car for under $10k that will hold or go up in value. Found a car being advertised as a M3, but I'm told, and now I believe it's an M Technic. What are these things worth? 140k miles, original wheels (so I can tell), all exterior trim pieces and handles present, has the pin-stripe in-tact on both sides, but interior needs some love. Hurricane interior is there but has some wear and cloth a-pillar has burn marks from smoker, though the car doesn't smell. Has TMS Performance Chip 413, and E-36 Pulley installed by AutoTechnic in New Milford, CT, who does a lot of BMW motorsport tuning from what I'm told. I compared the vin with the previously mentioned list and it checks out, so it seems legit. With only 150 imported, it can't be a bad investment if it's not too much to bring to a level of finish that would be appreciated by a future 'collector' or 'admirer'.

    driver door card needs some upholstery repair
    a-pillar needs re-upholstered
    steering wheel is cracking at top (probably sun exposure)
    passenger door card missing door pull/handle trim

    So ball-park, what's this thing worth?

    Hey all, looking for some guidance. I went to drive what I thought was an M3, but it's apparently an M-Technic. The VIN checks out and everything via the list someone posted earlier in the thread. 140k miles, hurricane interior, eibach coil-over suspension, TMS Performance chip 413 and E-36 Pulley installed by AutoTechnic in CT, original BBS wheels, original paint with pin-stripes in-tact. door-handles are both there. Needs a good detail-job, and it'd shine quite nicely. Interior is a different story. Steering wheel is cracked at the top (UV exposure?), burns in driver's a-pillar and door frame, and one burn hole on the driver's seat, shifter is a little worn but not offensive, driver's door card needs some leather re-tucked/glued and passenger door card is missing the door handle/lever trim piece. The car has eibach coil-overs as well. Drove it and it's nice and tight. Pulls hard. No suspension/driveline noises, but dash has a squeak I'd have to chase down. Anyway, some guidance would be appreciated.

    Sorry if there ends up being a double post. I posted the bulk of this first, and the forum told me a moderator had to approve, then I added the piece about it driving well in a second post, assuming it would require the same approval, but it seems to have posted, so if there is a double-post, sorry about that!

    Thanks!

    Is anyone else going to to be in Monterey for the 100th year anniversary of BMW? http://ofest.bmwcca.org/

    The Wednesday event is one that I will be attending, the car is nothing to look at but it gives me an excuse to hang with the beautiful cars. http://ofest.bmwcca.org/events/concours

    Just picked up 45418 from a buddy out of VA. As far as I know I'm the 3rd owner. It came with a folder of all service records from 1994-2012. The guy i bought it from worked at bimmerworld so he went thru it from front to rear. Poweflex all over, Bilstein coilovers, e36 M3 front and rear subframes with reinforcement plates, brakes ect. Interior is original condition and in great shape. DS1s on it now with original RC041s in route. I did the ECS cooling refresh kit and added the Z3M radiator, new headlights, euro taillights, and corner lights. Car runs like a top. This will be my sons car and will join me at HPDEs starting next year.

    Doc,

    I own 45417, located in the IE, southern California. Very small world. What HPDE program are you looking at taking advantage of?


    I would also look into the local BMWCCA club, they have an array of offerings. Street Survival to track days.


    Welcome to a great "gate way" to the world of having to explain why it's almost a M3.

    LOL, no joke on the explanation on the car. I have already told that story 10 times since I got it. Very cool story though. I usually teach with Chin, Just Track It, Tarheel SSC, BMWCCA, Porsche, ect. I will start him out at Roebling Road with Just Track It. Very low stress club and great bunch of guys. I also want to send him to the Tire Rack survuval course that they put on in Jacksonville, FL. I just got the RC041s today and will put them on and do a custom alignment this Sat.

    Doc,

    You might want to keep him on the DS1's until he gets a few miles under his belt. The chances of finding a spare RC041 is akin to finding a spare door handle. Not likely. Ever.

    I have taken the car to three track events this year. Started with VARA University at Buttonwillow, then Chuckwalla with BMWCCA and again with them at Laguna Seca at Octoberfest. The car ran great, with Bilsteins, springs and fresh fluids. But it's stock under the hood and even with a "point by" the other guy has to slow down to let me get around him. I might be stuck in group "D", but it's still fun.

    Good point! Lol. We will also get a dedicated track wheel/tire setup. We will run a 200 treadwear tire to start off.

    Do you have any idea of how much they are worth? We are thinking of selling our '94 325is m-tech. It's in very good condition.

    I have purchased my friend M3Rob95's M Technic last month EF45400. It is sans drive train and several failed paint jobs. At some point a restoration will occur when I get time this year and will post progress.

    1992 BMW 325is M-Technic
    Wanted to see if you all are familiar with with the limited production run of 1992 e36 325is M-Technics (I believe 20, 12US/8Canada). I bought one with 14,xxx miles in 1998 and currently have it sitting in my garage with 32,xxx miles. I know this is for 1994 cars but given the limited information I have been able to find on mine I thought I would see if you all are familiar.

    I think you mean E30?

    I've never seen nor read of an E36 M-tech in 1992 unless it was a 'homebrew' one. 1992 started the E36 M3 in Europe with the 3.0L up until 94, then in 95 they started with the EVO 3.2L. 1994 was the year BMW wanted to test the market and gave the US a 325is with the M3 package.... and Canada with 40 Euro spec 3.0L M3s. Aside from that, I'd have to see some more proof and documentation.

    E30's however had a M325IS which are pretty rare.

    Stancing is for drivers trapped in an abusive relationship of their own lives.

    Hey guys I just picked up a genuine M-technic yesterday for 800$ and its in rough shape but I plan on restoring it over the next few years. It has one of the lowest vin #'s I have seen and I checked the vin and it seemed to be a real m-technic. The last five numbers are, 45069

These non-mtechs mostly have M-suspensions and 25% locking rear differentials.. some even have the Style 29 BBS wheels. I spotted a handful of nice color names such as Calypso Metallic and Madeira Violet mixed into the gaps as well.

    Here's the list I have so far, with the last 3 missing. The last one built seems to be 1/14/1994

    Hey I have vin #45069 I am very baffled at how low the number is, I checked the vin and all of the options match with the m-technic’s and I recently pruchased the car about a week ago for 800$ it is in very poor condition and I plan on restoring it. Also I have the first production date I have seen 11-12-93. The interior is in decent shape but needs work and it has about 230k miles on it. If someone can explain this car to me that would be greatly appreciated.

    whoa, yeah your car EF45069 isnt even in the range above, .. its VIN comes way earlier in the series.

    You are 1 of the 3 I wasnt able to find which makes me think that the other 2 are also around that range.

    Stancing is for drivers trapped in an abusive relationship of their own lives.

    Found one more in the range. Also stumbled across a lot of SCHWARZ 2 color cars with LSD, M Sport suspensions, and Style 29 cross spokes,. curious what those were all about

    Yeah I was thinking that it was maybe one of the ones they took around to auto shows? Maybe that’s why there is a huge gap since they might have made a few before the actual production so they could reveal them? Just a thought.
