Weird e30 in "500 Days of Summer"

[LBJefferies]

I did an audible "what the fuck?" when I saw this one. It appears to be an early model coupe or sedan with a plastic bumper conversion. I see e30's in movies all the time. If you watch Eyes Wide Shut, there is even a red e30 m3. It's no big deal usually, but this one is just bizarre. Did a r3v member donate their car for use in this movie?

It's quite possible that people outside of the realm of R3VLimited, forums and the intarwebs have done plastic bumper swaps to an E30.

I guess, I just can't imagine a non-enthusiast doing it and then to see it in a movie is really random.

Looks more like a painted euro bumper to me...

Nah, euro bumpers are smaller.

It just looks skinnier because that pic is squashed.

Thats what I thought also. Plastic bumpers appear taller, no?

[Avus E30]

good catch on noticing somethin a bit off, but I think its the painted euros as well, but anderson has a valid point as well

Either the badge placement is wrong or the "es" is missing from 325es.

[Kershaw]

painted euros.

Noticed that too.

I saw one the other day with the 325 badge on the left of the trunk deck pretty much sitting on the lip. :down:

I agree with everything everyone has said so far, and thus, and so forth....
