Cody 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2010 Bumped into this place a wee while ago but just decided to register as i just purchased my first car! A 1989 BMW E30 318i. On the lookout for a new front bumper as the one it came with is really far too low for me So yeah, i hope to contribute and gain some knowledge from this forum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice Coupe, you didn't happen to buy that from TM in Dunedin? I dislike the bumper hopefully you could find a nice Mtec1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome Cody. Replacing that front bumper would be a great idea indeed. Look out for an OEM bumper and what you will be wanting is something called “IS “lower lip of a E30 318is, colour code it and it will tie in nicely with the rest of the cars look.
