I always say do what you like... IMO I like the reiger if you're not going for an OE look, and it suits the rest of your car.
As to the M-Tech stuff... I actually like the stock paint-matched rear bumper on mine better than the M-Tech... When I get the M front, I think I'm leaving the back the way it is. __________________ ---------------------------------------

the m tech is $380 at a dealer.... my cost.
That reiger looks awesome, but wide rear wheels ARE required!.
I am pretty sure they want some stupid amount of $ for it... so I'll stick to the M tech as the next budy mod.... in the mean time... the 332 is at the shop... sick... with a HEADache. | | | | | 04-08-2005, 05:05 AM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |
The thing I don't like about the stock bumper is how the gas tank hangs down. Looks kinda funky to me. | | | | | 04-08-2005, 05:23 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Tampa Posts: 465 |

Online you can find the Rieger ti bumper at http://www.mmstuning.com/ for $425 the Rieger rear bumper will fit a regular ti, i believe the one in the pic has been modded to fit the custom widened fenders. check out http://www.rieger-tuning.de/en/index.html for a full catalogue of Rieger parts for the ti.

But yeah, that is also one of the reasons i like the Rieger rear bumper, it covers nicely  I also think that it would look much better on a black ti; the lines are hidden partially by the color. Anyways, thanks for all the input! __________________  | | | | | 04-08-2005, 11:33 AM | #23 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Concord Posts: 326 |
Here's an idea, since a lot of people like your rear M-tec bumper once you get the Reiger one installed sell the M-tec and make a little moocha back  __________________

LOL, you guys are so funny. This is the opposite of the rice style. This is clean style (typical German style), this style stands for tief und breit (deep and wide). In this style they try to take the rims as wide as possible and put a smaller tire on so they can go a little bit deeper and the tyre doesn't look as high. So stretched tyres is one of the things you need to do if you want to go that style.
About the rear skirt it is still stock, in Europe it costs about 400€ so the 425$ is a good price. And almost any car that participate at these shows has widened fenders, certainly in Germany. Why ? because like that they can go even deeper, I guess the space between tarmac and the underneath of this car is less than 1"
By the way, I don't know where you got that pic from, but it is one I took at a show in Kirkel (Germany), I do have pics from the front too if you want. This ti also has the Rieger E46 M3 frontskirt. It has the a Euro E36 M3 engine implanted (320pk) | | | | | 04-10-2005, 05:16 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Tampa Posts: 465 |

Fuma, i got the pics somewhere on http://www.bmwclub-dreamcars.at.tt/ a while back. Anyone know how the hell this guy can drive his ti with those rims? They must be just for show.   __________________ | | | | | 04-10-2005, 10:19 PM | #28 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Vancouver, B.C. Canada Posts: 465 |

I keep all my oem bmw parts, so i wont sell the rear bumper if i end up switching it to rieger. __________________ | | | | | 04-11-2005, 12:46 AM | #29 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |
The reiger rear is starting to grow on me, but the front end and the wheels on that silver ti is just hideous. | | | | | 04-11-2005, 01:42 AM | #30 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Charlotte, NC Posts: 120 |
