I have removed my sedan's bumpers and skirts. The concept is the same so if there's no one else who has actual experience on coupes, let me know and I'll help you out with whatever experience I have.

At the very least, I can offer you the use of the torx sockets required to remove the bumpers.

I'm looking to buy a torx sockets....where do you buy that?
would you have the spec for the torx socket to remove a bumper?

Some Canadian Tire stores carry the "Lisle" brand of tools (not sure of the spelling though). You have to ask the Automotive Desk for them since they are always on the regular shelves.

I've seen the post somewhere where you have to do some cutting to get a M-Tech to fit onto a 323....?

I thought you just wanna remove from your 330ci?

There will be some cutting if you wanna install MTech for coupes into a sedan.

Hmm, maybe I misunderstood your original post??

No you're correct Jos.

I want to take off the M-Tech but put it onto a 323 coupe.
I'm not sure if the brake ducts are different.... :Idunno:
