I like the car a lot better in the photos that were posted later.

Back in the day when you could order a US car painted something other than the stock offerings, they did the same thing - the trim tag on my '61 Bonneville is marked 'Special' in the blank for the paint code.

I once owned an early M635i,
true euro car,
it too came with Sonderlackierung Paint.
This car's color was Blau-Schwarz,
amd had the e24 Mtech kit,
Headlight washers and Water Buffalo interior...

What about the M-Tech kit do you find unattractive?

To me, the M-Tech kit only looks good on some colors, like white. The main reason I didn't like it on that particular car is because I feel like the kit paired up with that color makes it a bit rice. That's just my opinion, and like I said, I don't think the M-Tech kit is necessarily unattractive, it just doesn't work with every color.

My opinion for years. That is why I went the AC Schnitzer route. The cut lines on the side skirts are "fussy" and the whole skirt looks tacked on compared to the sculptured ACS one. Again my opinion. I like the black rub "strip" that goes all the way around the car (side molding) and in white or lighter color this disappears in front and rear. Leaving just the black side molding to "tie" the look together.

The biggest problem with the kit is that the side skirts are mounted about 25mm too low. They should sit right below the doors.

Personally, I don't like the kit at all, but it grew on me when I bought an M535i.
