scott_e30 8 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 As per title. I believe the genuine ones don't require drilling and welding? They just bolt on. If someone could confirm this that would be great. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone could confirm this that would be great. Thanks you are correct. you just remove the bumper and the 5mph mounts, and the towbar slides into place, and the bumper bolts back over the top. you probably already know this but the fl and pfl bars are different be sure to get all the correct bolts when you buy, they can be hard to find. i learnt the hard way in the past.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 no thats not genuine. cant find a picture on google to show you but it will look something like this http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=71&fg=10 just checked the part number on the towbar on my E30, it is different to the one in this photo, but my BMW part number is 88 88 1 500 164 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
