I have been trying to do a plastic bumper swap on my 88 325is and have run into the same problem twice on the rear. The bracket on the re bar is 66mm and the shank on the bumper shock is 76mm. Pics below


I have bought 2 sets of rear shocks now and they are both the 76mm height so I can only assume that the brackets are wrong (despite being told by everyone I talk to that the brackets are the same size on all plastic bumpers). Please share your thoughts? This simple job has turned into a real shit show because of this parts situation!
