For the sedans, they had metal (aluminum) bumpers aka diving boards through 88 and 89 through 92/93/ End of E30 Model Cycle had the plastic bumpers.
88 was a weird transition year that had metal bumpers but the late model valences in the front and rear.
Verts were a different story and had metal bumpers (and small tails) through 90/91 I thinkSimon

Convertibles didn't switch to plastic bumpers until 1991.1991 318iC
