1990 325i Vert front valence/bumper. Help!

[MinnE30]

I know this subject has probably been beaten but I've seen a lot of different things and different answers.

I have a 1990 325i vert with chrome bumpers and non-integrated fogs (square, non rounded ones... right?). I would like to put an MT1 front bumper without tucking or plastic bumper conversion.

Anyone done this? Reviews on this particular piece? Any thread links/experience you may have had would be greatly appreciated.

Second:
You have US aluminium bumpers ("diving boards"), not euro bumpers. Real Mtech-I kits are designed for Euro cars only and I'm not sure if anyone makes an Mtech-I kit for early US bumpers. You have US aluminium bumpers ("diving boards"). The kit you linked to says, "Fits any e30 2 door coupe/cabrio or 4 door sedan with early type Euro metal bumpers."

So if you want to use that kit, you'll have to get euro bumpers. To get euro bumpers, you're going to need a euro valence. I don't remember if euro bumpers require different fog lights, but any front spoiler requires a different mounting position.

I saw that you're already doing maintenance work on your car, and I would suggest continuing that before addressing anything cosmetic. Also, try to find multiple threads discussing the conversion. The info is all out there and you'll need to learn to find it and interpret the good info from the bad.

What McGyver ^^^ said.

To install that M Tech I lower front spoiler you should call Neue Motorsport and see if it is made to fit US valences. True M Tech I lower front spoilers require (I believe) an euro valence AND euro bumpers.
