Since im all the way here now, might as well post here and see if i can get my answer.

Part department can't find the fog blanks on their oem parts program and im having trouble finding the part # by searching the web..

Can someone please post the part number for 88 model fog blanks/covers?

I'll wait 10 minutes.. thanks.

Those are not it.

This is for a 1988 325i sedan.

Ok, why do you say those aren't the fog blanks? Although the parts catalog shows these are for a '91-92 model, the 1988-1991 E30 coupes and sedans use the same front valence and foglights-hence, these covers will fit your car. Also, just because the picture in the diagram shows these to be a rectangular cover that would have been used pre-88, the parts diagrams do not always show how the updated part will look.

Ahh ok.

I didn't know the 91+ model cabrios used the same fog blank as the 88+ coupes/sedans with it being on the same valence. And i know that the diagrams are sometimes not updated to the part, i didn't care about that, its just the part number kept showing on a 91+ and i thought it would be sitting on a different valence.

Thanks for clarifying.:up:

All this time, i never knew about Archive. I always assumed realoem didn't have e30s listed.

Thanks dude.
