ive been offered a g reg 325 cab, however im alittle confused about it, even though its a 1990 which is a "face lift" model its still got the pre face lift rear lights?
And the more I think about it I remembered my cuz use to have a 1991 e30 325 cab which also had the pre face lift lights/chrome bumpers?...but i thought all this stopped in 1987??

So bmw carried on making the chrome/pre 88 type cabs along with the face lifts?

Mine is 1991 H and pre facelift.
I guess they just chucked them out the factory depending on what was in the parts bin. The cab was not made in the same factory as the saloon.
