He is talking about the plastic bumpers, and the only difference to those is the trim. US plastics have side markers, euro plastics did not. You can still buy the trim new from BMW. Blunttech sells them.

the euro doesnt have sidemarkers right?

The metal euro bumpers are the version to the US 5mph 'dive board' bumpers. And that is correct, the euro metal bumpers did not have side markers to my knowledge. When US owners converted they hacked them up to make side markers.

I have a set of euro bumpers that someone did that very thing to. I have since replace the trim to new OE euro W/O markers.

Been pulled over enough and was never hassled about that.
