Hi,

Does anybody know if the tow eye caps are the same from a normal e30 for the m3 bumpers?

I'm missing them and I'm thinking the part number is 51711916185 and 51711916186 for the front, but not entirely sure!

Copy and paste your part numbers into the top left box in this link, click 'go' and it will lead you to every BMW model that used this part, which should answer your question.

They're about £20 each new from the dealer and still available. I checked 3 weeks ago.

I think that's for the small little caps, not the bigger caps :)
