88? Just get some late model plastics and brackets...

Tuck um.......problem solved.

[custom e30]

yes its an 88, ive been lloking around like crazy and its way to expensive for the e30 plastic bumper conversion, even if its used, I can get the 525i bumpers front and back for dirt cheap at a jumk yard right now, and they are in great shape

Man, I die a little on the inside every time I see a diving board hate thread...

I almost did the swap on my car, but I'm happy with tucked painted bumpers. Try it on your car first before you spend the cash on a swap.

To your original question, I've never heard of anyone desiring or attempting e34 bumper swap. I doubt they will fit.

[AndrewBird]

E34's are quite a bit wider than an e30, so no, they are not going to fit without serious modification.

[custom e30]

ok thanks, and any chance I can get a pic of your e3o with the tucked painetd bumpers?

The special thing about the 88 is the bumpers. Trust me, youre gonna think theyre ugly like I did, but when you realize they are lighter, they make the 88 special, and when your girlfriend hits a tree bush with your e30, you will be glad they are not plastic.

Probably won't work, but I have heard of people putting E34 bumpers on E28s before.

?? Ugly ??

Never found the bumpers ugly. I'm in New York where I feel pity for all the car owners sporting scratched, cracked, blemished plastic unsafe bumpers. I love my metal ledge as it serves a purpose. My car is creeping unto 30 years fully restored. why would I risk my time and investment with plastic. When something is worth while you protect it. This is why surgeons would buy and drive ugly Volvos,
