In Reply to: Re: Swapping 88 for 89-91 bumpers easily?! posted by Jim Warren on November 20, 2000 at 09:45:10:

I'm in luck! My bumpers and lower spoiler are the same as yours! Looks like I'm gonna have to start searching for some new bumpers. My favorite place to start is Campbell-Nelson Recycling out of Washington state. They have a huge inventory and always seem to be cheaper than parts are in WI where I live. Thanks!

How do you know that it is easy to convert 88 bumpers to the 89-91 bumpers? What difference is there between the 88 and the older e30's that makes it an easier swap? I'm curious in this also since I had thought it was very difficult to swap the bumpers. If it is possible, I may be interested in it myself.

If you have a 88' 325i with the 89-91 front spoiler and rear valance then, you are lucky! easy DIRECT BOLT ON instillation of the 89-91 short bumpers..you just have to find a set of bumpers somewhere out there.....Look at my current bumpers and front spoiler...if you have the same spoiler as me, You can DO the Direct bolt on of the 89-91 short bumpers.
