    That's because here in USA we were stuck with the horrible diving boards, if we got euro bumpers it would be a different story

      The dream. I have a 91.. if they sold the Euro bumper models here in the US I'd have an <86 in a heart beat. Wouldn't even consider plastic bumper models.

        Euro bumpers aren't that hard to acquire and are simple to install.

          Yeah I guess that's true, but it's just an extra step that wouldn't be necessary if they were produced with them here.

            Not a fan of diving board cars. I would have to put euro bumpers on one if I ever bought one.

            Mtech I cars are still one of my favorite E30s of all time.

              The bottom line is that if we got the E30 in its original form, and not with some afterthought parts added ALL of the E30s would be fetching ~10K right now

                                we'll see, the best any swapped car has done was $16,500 on the CA car that had a smog ready, but the buyer backed out and it then resold for $11,400.
