Are M235I wide-body kits available to buy?

I have looked all over and cant find actual websites that you can buy the pieces from? i would love to get a wide-body kit sometime in the future but no idea where to look, or how much it would cost? I looked at the Manhart website and found the product but it doesn't give the option to buy?

I think the most economically viable way to get a wide body 2 series would be to buy an M2. The manhart kit is something obscene like 15k, the m235i racing kit isn't sold as its not road legal, and the other "more affordable options" are still pretty steep and questionable in terms of looks.

We do not have an automated shop system. We do not mass produce and would like to get to know our clients to find individual solutions / answr all questions. That kind of goes away once you have an anonymus click-buy-ship situation.
Of course there is pros and cons to both sides.

We are actually a bit under the $6k, depending on shipping. Or if we do a group buy, even less. If you are in the Florida area, contact Ray@TunerEmpire here on the forum for on-site installation.

And no, we are not all called Ray

It's an interesting look, definitely unique. Would be remiss though to not point this out. Your experience of course, may differ.

Yes that experience is enough to put you off going to this supplier......
