E30 Zone

hi all! yep im new to this, i was just surfing the net and found this site and all my dreams came true, anyway, ive just got a stainless steel quad exhaust for me 325 tourer but now looking for a rear bumper but cant decide wot to go for? has anyone done this and got any ideas? it would be very much appreciated.

Hello Hux, cant help with the query but welcome to the zone.

welcome to the zone...

quad exhaust?

Best bumper to go for would be one that hides it.

Do excuse Munky. He has a heart of gold, but a sense of humour that is different to say the least...
Welcome to the Zone by the way.

I just dont think these cars suit quad exhausts. I had a quad on my last car and it looked the proverbial danglies, but I dunno if it would work on an e30...

I am open to being proved wrong. And on that note...

welcome to the zone1

thanks for the welcome anyway guys, once i get a bumper fitted ill get some pics.

Am I missing something? What's the bumper got to do with any exhaust?

He was after a bumper to fit around his quad pipe exhaust...

All the exhausts I've seen come out through or under the rear valence.

Welcome to the site, mate! You'll love it here.......... the members are friendly and helpful.

Yeah, the pipes do come from the rear valance. Guess you'll have some cutting to do to make it fit nicely and look neat. That has to have been a custom made exhaust, right?

Looking through my Bimmer photo album, there are some tourers with what looks like aftermarket bumpers or body kit parts below the original bumper. Is that what you mean?

yeah it was a custom built jobby, and i should av said i wanted an aftermarket bumper. sorry if it confused anyone!

Dont reiger and zender do ones with a holy lower valance that you could poke the tips through?

dont know but ill now av a look on web sites cheers

Here you go mate, found this on the net for you.....thinks it's a rear bumper /valance thingy.

Not into bodykits on Bimmers myself, but maybe that's what you have in mind. There's room for your 4 tail pipes too You'd need to check it would fit a touring model though.......

Think I can safely say I'll never be buying anything from the site on that link! Still, whatever rocks your boat!
There's no difference between the floorpan or panels from the bumper down on a saloon from a touring.

cheers for that link, but dont think il be buying from there either! but ta anyway. thanks for telling me about floorpan and panels thats well usefull

Dips has got an e21 with quad exhaust....they exit out of the sides of the rear bumper!

I saw that very rear bumper/valance on a car on ebay last night.................like I said, I'm not into body kits on BMs, and this confirmed it; in the words of Trey from The Apprentice: it looked shite/bollox

I think we should organise a whip round for a professional DoS hit on that site until they promise to stop listing kits for E30s....
