    is this possible?

    I have a 91 318i, and I was thinking about getting a euro (chrome) bumper with an M-Tech 2 valance. Is this possible?

    Excuse me if this has been covered. I tried searching, and have not been able to find a definitive answer.

    no, it would look absolutely ridiculous with the large gaps.

      Yeah, i seen some pictures of the large gap.
      So basically if you have a late model, a euro bumper is impossible? There's no version of the euro bumper that fits late model valences?

        Euro bumpers came on early cars with matching valances. No Euro bumper will work correctly with a late valance.

          That's very disappointing. :(
          There's no aftermarket version of the euro bumper that fits late models? lol

            Early models are better anyways. But yea a late model with some euro bumpers would look pretty weird.

              they didn't make a chrome bumper for euro models when the series II came along. They all went plastic, not even the mounts are the same. So i doubt you'll find anything aftermarket.
              Just a little project im working on
