The spoiler that Aaron has posted for sale is for a Euro E28. However it will only fit cars with the early style valance. Only E28s from '82 through 9/84 have the early valance.

Regarding the difference between the Euro front valance and the US valance. The cutouts for the Fogs and Turns, that's it. If you want to convert to Euro Bumpers you DO NOT have to change the valance, you only have to modify it. Anybody that's interested should visit the M535i Special Interest Group site. Rob Anderson has provided the blow by blow on how to do the conversion, which includes how to modify the Valance.

Hello folks - '83 528i had a small front spoiler ONLY - this is just a front spoiler for EURO ONLY! Not the bumper/spoiler combo with small chrome bumper for support - I think? Don't think you can use this on a US E28 - NOT! You have to change your ront valance with the directionals and fogs.
