      do all US e30 m3's have those two round holes on the side of the US bracket?

          Guess my parts connection is better than yours. I have mine stashed till I get the zinno one resprayed.

              It is a replacement cover, and you are lying about unwrapping the harness.

                I admit I haven't searched much or even checked wholesale cost. I've got more important things on my plate right now than a perfect airdam.

                  Most likely euro strip and wires were cut or tucked away. Or perhaps it was delivered like that who knows. Dangerous to drive so trade me for my 318.

                    This would nearly require unwrapping the entire harness to do. It can be done very inconspicuously.

                    Pretty much this... i highly doubt they just had US and euro bumpers laying right next to eachother in the factory and even if thats the case that no QC was done on these incredibly expensive cars for someone to not see the front didnt have sidemarkers. Also not to mention that customs wouldnt even clear the car come in like that.

                      It wouldn't pass pre delivery inspection without side markers and would never be sold or registered.

                        These cars get a lot of damage in the front, due to their nature. Back in the day these were being wrecked right and left. It shouldn't surprise anyone to see a replacement bumper cover on an M3-- and that's all it is.

                          I've said many times that I can't find any wiring. Yes it would make sense if someone threw a replacement bumper on there and there was some shitty cut wires lying around but there isn't. If you want to come inspect it yourself I'd gladly show you, I'm not stupid. Either way, I have a euro bumper, and I'm happy about it. Its just a mystery how it got there.

                            Your honestly not going to listen to anyone until we tell you you have a 1 of a kind e30 m3 aren't you? Just like said before, its more than likely a replacement, dig deeper, I'm sure the wires are somewhere.

                              I'm not saying I have a one of a kind m3. At all. All i'm saying is I can't find the wires, I don't want to tear up my harness anymore, and I have a euro bumper. Which i'm personally happy about.
