i got da 85 318i 1.8L, the euro bumpers are much smaller right ? mine really stick out...also i have to get the rear corner plastic/rubber cover piece off because i tapped a stop sign screwing around.

is it possible to put the euro bumpers that are on the later E30's onto a 87 with the stick out ones?

do u already have the euro bumpers if u don't just do a tuck much easier

i tucked mine looks waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better the only problem i have thou is that i have to tuck the front with a bench mounted vice and no one i know has one

how do you do a tuck ? how much trouble did you have removing the rear bumper ? don't have the euros but the bumpers need something to improve the look.

the tuck its easy i just used a drill u drill thru the shocks and oil will shoot out let it go then when it stops drill so more so till u know bit is in there completely then after u do both shocks on the rear i just had pushed in the rear bumper by seating between to cars and pushing it in with my legs the front u drill thru and then u have to get a bench mounted vice to use on bumper shocks do a search thru on this forum "bumper tuck" and u will find more info if u need it
