Euro bumpers, speak up

[Bimmerfanatik]

So I keep getting this funny feeling I'm the only one in the country (or at least on the board) that has euro bumpers.

Prove me wrong :) Here be my pics: NOTE: This was when I bought her almost a year ago, she looks MUCH better now...I'll post those pics soon.
front shot:

the rare aftermarket ac piece:

disgusting, unloved engine bay:

previous owner's idea of a bumper tuck:

Beat interior - though cloth inserts on door panels=kinda cool

Nice ass!

Can't see it, but german full OBC (most of them had to be abbreviated because the german word wouldn't fit :) )

Rather unusual tan cloth sport seats, now replaced by freshly reupholstered grey cloth sports (Thanks Rob!)

The pic that caught my eye on Ebay and sold me:

CHECK OUT THOSE SICK ULTRA WHEELS!

This is what happens when a shop tries to replace u-joints:


Am I alone out there? Where are you euro bumpered fools? (I know Ryan Stewart has em...)

If all goes to plan, i will have them on friday when i get my euro 323i.

There's plenty w/ euro bumpers.
In fact, there's at least one more grey market euro E30 ('85 323i) in MA besides yours

No way! Got any contact info? I'm not saying I AM the only one with euro bumpers (and a euro car), I'm saying no one seems to post on here that has 'em. No sigs with euro bumpers...no grey market screen names...etc.

The other euro E30 that I know of is owned (or at least was) by some old guy in Dartmouth.
'85 323i, 5spd, 4 dr bronzit. Almost no options, fairly shitty car.
The owner was asking $2000 - aka way too much. I would have paid $800 at most to buy it as a parts car. I have no idea if it's still on the road.

Same here...would have been worth a few bucks in parts, for sure. Head, bumpers, interior bits...I wonder what happened to it.

Euro bumpers on henna right here silly boy...there are plenty of us...

[Digitalwave]

I don't think any of those parts are rare, except maybe the ugly rims. All those parts came factory on a ton of E30's.

[mph]

Believe me, you aren't the only one.




1986 325ic: Euro. It's Grey Market as well.

Geez there are probably 10-15 people that are on here that have them. Not that uncommon. Do you want to sell your front euro bumper?

[Bimmerfanatik]

Geez there are probably 10-15 people that are on here that have them. Not that uncommon.

My thoughts exactly...so 10 people on here have euro bumpers, and 400 have smoked ellips...

Digitalwave, you find me another pic of that accordian looking piece under the HVAC controls, and I'll send you 5 bucks.

Same goes for the glass roof (pics to come.)

No it is probably only about 10-15 that have smoked ellips. Your not that special with your 320i dash vent and euro bumpers (not to mention the rear is complete trash). Now a "factory" glass sunroof is very rare and cool. Are you sure its not one of those Audi ones retro fitted? To me it just looks like an ugly brown turd with euro bumpers. Nothing special there :?

I have some euro bumpers at my house. Not sure when they're going to be put on though. They need a lot of prep before painting.

Whoa, easy buddy. I'm not bragging, I'm just stating that there are some parts on my car that I haven't seen any or more than one of. If the 320i dash vent is so easy to find and doesnt impress you, why don't you find me a pic? They go for around $150 or so new according to Joel at the Euro Depot...and that's if you can find one.

As for the glass roof, it is not an Audi window, it's factory tinted glass that I dropped right into my car.

Ugly brown turd with euro bumpers...well, the pics might lead you to believe that, but the pics I'll post later this week will hopefully change your mind. Try being a little less hostile too, and maybe post pics of your sweet ass ride ;)

PS - there are WAY more than 10-15 people with smoked ellips.

320i dash vent is not very impressive. It makes it look like a 320i inside and we all know about those cars. If you can get $150 for it I would say sell it but that is my oppinion. You post pics of you car you are intitled to other peoples oppinions.

Glass sunroof is very cool. If you have it congrads. I am jelious.

Well post up some other pics. I like seeing good looking cars but from what is shown right now it doesn't look pretty. Lets see some sweet pics of that car man. I am not trying to be hostile (sorry if I came accross that way). Pics will come someday :roll:
