Dane, you had a sport package not a ZSP. Bumper design is completely different for Mtech1. ZSP was exclusive to 330.

ZSP was the option code for sport package, regardless of 325 or 330. The difference is that 325's did not get the bumprs and 330's did.Originally Posted by C Withers Media
Dane's old car was a 325.

M-tech 1 vs M-tech 2
Rear bumpers are different from M-tech 1 and M-tech 2 as well. Also M-tech 1 is different for the coupes and convertibles.

Some 325i and 325xi did get the M-tech 1 bumpers which I've seen a few over the years. Another difference was that some 330s with ZSP also recieved tiag accent trim (headlight and front bumper inserts).

To clarify, the 325 & 330 were available with their respective ZSP (Sport Pkg) from 2001 thru the end of E46 production.
The majority of US-spec 330 models have ZSP. You can usually spot it from the 17" Style 68M wheels. There were also a pair of 18" wheel options during those years, the generally preferred version of which is Style 71.
Can be a bit confusing these days, as owners replace damaged wheels & bumpers. Saw a gray 330ci ZSP last night with 135M (ZHP) wheels. And a neighbor has a E46 328i with M-Tech I bumper caps. Which would not have come from factory with those bumpers, even if that 328 has the pre-330 version of ZSP.

^ Good info... I think my view was jaded by the fact that I have an Mtech1 330 ZSP, not a regular ZSP, and was posting in reference to the original question of what is Mtech1.
I am going to go start my own forum for my special car....lol.
