1991 vert.. came with plastics, diving boards, or both?

[sefb222]

i just snagged another vert today... 1991 325i, with plastic bumpers.

some of the 1991s ive seen have metal bumpers. was there a "1991 1/2" or something, where they switched over?

i did a google image search, and found several of each (plastics and metal) for "1991 bmw convertible"

10/90 production and later came with plastics.
To further confuse you; My '89 on left and '91 on right.

Hell, I even got confused before realizing you'd done a swap on your '89. Anyway, to clarify for the OP, '91 was a transitional year for convertibles My '91 iC has plastic bumpers. It'll soon, hopefully, have the damned M-technic kit installed, once it's back on the road.

Man that bumper swap looks clean. Any tips? Especially for the rear?

[Stevie30]

Rear bumper mod is almost the same as the early coupe/sedan. I have not added a valance to the rear. Still looking for something I like. I am starting to like it better the way it is now.

I thought the rear bumper didn't have to be trimmed on cabrios?

You're right...it doesn't have to be trimmed...
