mtech325 thanks for the tip I will def do that. Sert thanks for the heads up on the turn signal

Ok great thank you! Is 300 for both bumpers fair?

I did the swap on my '88 a year or two ago. I needed brackets and shocks. I also recall that the turn signal plug was different and a new one needed to be spliced in. I think that was it though.

On the 88' 325is that I put plastic bumpers on, the rear tail panel/trunk had holes from where the diving board bumper shrouds mounted too. The plastic bumpers don't use those holes in the trunk, so it's probably a good idea to pop a grommet into those holes or place a dab of rtv to keep any moisture out.

Plastic bumpers should look nice :)

you need the brackets and shocks with the bumpers. everything is plug and play.

Thanks for the heads up. Looking over that article it says if its a 88 or newer it should just be plug and play or am I missing something?

Search for a thread called "bumpers bumpers bumpers".

It all is there.

IIRC, your swap at the rear will not be simple. Home page will have a link to the Tech page with a write 5yp, too.

Hi,

I have a early 88 325is that had the diving board bumpers. I have a line on a set of plastic bumpers from a parts car and was wondering if I need to strip anything else from the parts car for the swap to work? Also what a fair price for the plastic bumpers is.

Thanks,

Kevin
