    euro valence fogs

    If anyone has euro valence fog lights, I'd like to see them and how they're mounted. I have the valence, but just blank holes. I can't figure out how the fogs would mount to the valence even if I had the rectangular fogs.

    any pics and part numbers would help a lot.

      sorry, didn't realize there was a pre/post on the euro chromie valences
      here's a pic of the valence I got:



      this is pre-facelift, right?

      EDIT: I'd also like to source clear turn signals for it, but I keep finding depo on ebay. if anyone has a clear zkw part#, I'd appreciate it.

          Because e30 euro modells actualy had 2 facelifts.

          The first valace/lip was on production from 1983-1985 and second one was from late 1985 to 1987, untill the "bigger facelift" with plastic bumpers.

          Your car has that later chrome bumber valace and 325i lip(oil cooler duct on middle is open).

          early and late lips don't interchange unless you replace the valace.
          Current:

          BMW 320i 2d 2.0 m20 -88
          BMW 325i Cabriolet 2.5 m50 -88
          BMW 316i touring 1.6 m40 -90
          BMW 320i 4d 2,2 m54 -01

            cool, thanks for the info.

            the valences look the same, though?
            unless the early valence doesn't have oil cooler slots...it's hard to tell on that black car.

            my cabbie's an 89 so it seems I've got the correct valence/lip from what you're saying. but that does explain why some parts are different on realoem.

                if I get the fogs from an m3 or 5er, I'm wondering if the brackets will be the same. I think I am I looking for #2, 7, and 8 in this picture.

                where do the brackets bolt up to?
