Re: Bmw e30 323i rust bucket purchase

that car was sold as the owner thought it was too rusty. he had a solid enough 316 coupe selling at the same time which sold but this got relisted. I think at that money your wasting your time

rear bumpers

hi again, just a quick question. : as rear bumpers on the cab and touring are longer does that mean that they are directly interchangeable? I know saloon ones wont fit a cab but as I am after a cab one I need to know what to look for.
thanks
