Allen my friend, I've spent some time... (archive)

talking and corresponding with young Brad and I can tell he is a young man with a lot of irons in the fire. He is incredibly humorous, has a great deal of interest in school friends and I'm not sure I could've kept up with his schedule at the same age. Does he spend a lot of time with his E28, yep he's as guilty as the rest of us. I think it is a pretty good thing when a young man in today's world says "Hey, I'm gonna tear this sucker apart to learn something about it". I don't know too many kids his age who have half as much intelligence and gumption. I hope my own sons develop as well as Brad. Kudos to his Dad and Mom for turnin' out a kid who really "gets into things" he's interested in. Aside from an unusual sense of humor (Pete in Mo is definately a bad influence in that regard) and think the guy should be admired for all the stuff he's got goin' on. I'm a fan and think we are all better off for having his influence and input on the board. Just my humble opinion.

you need to get a life beyond 28e's. You are a college student. Give college a chance!

I did this little "upgrade" on 2-8-02. Before, I had a front Euro plate that I got off eBay. It was nice, but due to the absolute incompetency of college drivers, it had some nice dents in it from other people's lack of ability to parallel park. Besides, I didn't really like the way it broke up the front (which is why I removed my front fogs yesterday, too).

Below are some pictures from a couple of angles that show the front with the plate, with no plate, and then with the BMPD front bumper plug.

The plug was very easy to install. It was made of the same exact rubber material as the front bumper rubber impact strip. The only problem was that it was a little too wide to fit correctly. I took a filet knife (the closest knife around) and cut off about a mm or so (maybe less). Just enough to make it fit.

With Euro plate I had for a few months

Without plate or BMPD plug

With BMPD bumper thingy

The BMPD bumper thingy was an adhesive-backed piece of rubber. All you have to do is see how much to cut off, remove the paper, and press it into place.
