They pop up on ebay (most in Germany) once in a while, usually in used condition, not always as a complete package.
It seems pretty rare, as everyone either went for the MSport trim (MT2) from factory or converted afterwards, so there was always more choice of MT2 parts.
Personally not a fan, as it uses old style fogs, the intakes seem smaller, and the rear bumper is very early-00's. The side profile, and the sideskirt-rear bumper side crease look nice though

 

It is rare and for good reason, fugly IMO.

 

The front looks pretty good; the side and rear are a bit much.

I guess it was coupe/vert only?

 

They don't look that good...

 

rare at the time
quite impossible to be found right now @ dealer
if the kit is complete and in pristine conditions worth up to 800/900 €.

i've recently saw a rear bumper on ebay auction endend @ 300€

not beautiful as Mtech2 but not horrendous as Carzone kits

 

I found the spoiler from some warehouse in Germany recently, new-old stock I believe you call it.

But it weighs over 2 kilograms (4.5LB). Non-M cars are already heavy and slow. The CSL bootlid is a better option in my opinion because of weight reduction.

 

I purchased the side skirts back in 2003, and they clean up the side profile nicely. Never went for the front or rear covers, though.

 

it wasn’t very common. there was a blue 328Ci with it at the dealership on display when I bought my 323Ci. BMW coming from the E36 M3 it was a closer sporty styling transition between the two.
i may be mistaken but pretty sure it was a BMW Accessory. meaning it was installed after by the dealership. unlike most other later M-tech body parts installed at production line. also there wasn’t a package that came with this iirc.
they also had a much more modest Sedan and Station wagon one. those were more add-on facia/lips than whole bumpers.
BMW did close outs pricing on these for cheap long ago.

 

I agree that it’s probably a dealer option. Paint matching would’ve been a huge hassle for the dealer.

I also found one of the threads where ECS was selling the sedan kit for $99 back in 2008 but not the coupe/convertible (and you’re part of that thread).

BMW Accessories Aero Kit Thread

Ok so i bought an 2002 330ci with the aero kit about a year and a half ago. I have been able to find little information on it. I don't ever see it on the road. I have probably seen maybe four cars ever that look like it. So i have a few questions about it. 1. What years was it offered? 2. How...

www.e46fanatics.com

So if it’s not an actual option code then that removes the collectability factor. Honestly my opinion on the kit has grown a little.

Here’s a couple more photos sourced from:

bmw aero kits here!!!

does anyone have the bmw aero kit and also does anyone have the hamann add on kit??? which do u like more or prefer???? post pix please....

It was not part of any package and didn't have an option code, it's Sonderausstattung through and through.
Not sure how not having an option code diminishes collectability (a lot of the rarer items did not come from factory), but it just never got popular enough, and all the high prices nowadays are just because not many survived (and because parts prices are generally going up)

 

My comment about collectability is it's unknown if the kit came on the car from factory or was installed after the fact. Without the option code all you have is a rare body kit, with it you have a rare optioned E46.

I purchased the side skirts back in 2003, and they clean up the side profile nicely. Never went for the front or rear covers, though.

Interesting, I've had a set of side skirts kicking around in the garage for the last couple years and now I'm debating on how they'd look with the MtechII bumpers. Maybe I'll try test fitting one and see how it looks (they're painted jet black so without getting them painted it'll be hard to tell). My passenger side skirt is pretty damaged from a curb which is why I'd do the swap as overall there's not a big difference between the coupe aero kit and MtechII kit.

 

All I can find for the complete kit in the ETK is part number 51190004537 , which is under Retrofitting, Conversion, Accessories

Aerodynamics package

Clicking on the individual components doesn't say "for vehicles with S[nnnn]" like it does for other options. Does imply it was post-production line fit. Would be great if someone has an original price list from 1999, so we can see if it's listed, but then that wouldn't be definitive, as the importer for each market didn't always let customers order everything the factory would build.

i have that and it’s listed as a “BMW center-installed accessory”
along with the 18” Radial wheels

 

Do we know what S159A MONTAGE AERO-DYNIC-ANLAGE is?

 

I have a 330i sedan with the m-sport package. It's a 2002 so its a facelift (you call that m-tech 2 here if I'm not wrong). My car also has the option "0716 Aerodynamics Package" which I can't seem to find any info about. Has anyone here heard of it before?

 

That was the bodykit - the bumpers and side skirts. It could be ordered as a standalone option as S716A or bundled into the m-sport package. (The M-sport package was really just a collection of options that were bundled together and cheaper than ordering them all individually)

 

Mmmmmmm - M-Tech 1...

 

My car has this body kit and I love it more than my ZHP body kit, the only thing that it doesn't have that matches the kit is the rear OEM bumper. I personally like the OEM rear bumper over the one that comes with the body kit.
The car only had 50k miles when I bought it about a year and a half ago. Now it has 74k miles, don't really drive it much anymore. I'm thinking about selling it as I have a convertible ZHP and a coupe ZHP. I had ZHP wheels on it not to long ago and got tire of them. What do you guys think about the kit/car?

 

Nice car. Too bad about the rear aero bumper. That's the one piece that really stands out from the rest of the kit.

 

I would do MTechII bumpers and M3Rep side skirts, if such a thing exists.

 

curious why M3 sideskirt and not M-Tech II sideskirts?

 

Just bought today the front and rear bumper
I have two front aero bumpers and two rear

 

Alex323Ci, I haven't owned an E46 in seven years and moved on to an E92 but I'd be looking at both options and see which/if one is more aggressive. I loved the MTechII bumper on my E46 and have one being shipped this week for my E92. I'll be completing the retrofit with side skirts in the near future.

 

BTW - if you saw the package on a 328CI at the dealership, it was probably the one I own, which I bought in October 1999. Maranello's??? Love the car and still own it. The package sets it apart from the other E46s.

 

years ago i had an E46 Touring and i absolutely loved the aero kit.

and retrofit kit (63130152443)goes with the aero parts and regular Coupe bumper.

The package was only available as an optional extra, and it needs to be registered. I’ve never seen it complete and on the road. It took me 2 years to collect all the parts.

 

A friend of mine still has an Individual Dakargelb 325ci with that kit + AC-S add ons (rims/exhaust/interior bits), Aerokit fitted from factory, AC-S stuff from dealer before delivery.

It took about 6-7 months to get it delivered with those specs. He recently refused an offer of 16k€ for it.

 

Well, huh. Lookit that. I'd always thought this was PO Aftermarket,
but apparently it's Gen-Yoo-Whine optional!
I wish they'd put the optional struts, on, too, so it would close reasonably.
Yes, it's heavy.
But when all those downforts kick in about 45 mph, whoooo-weee, it's sure worth it!
The nose lightens up, the tail sits down, and
who cares that I don't have the bhp of a modern Hayoondai!*

*more realistically, I think I need to change the rest of the rear suspension bushings...
