so acording to a friend who has had 4 325is they have bolt on slam pannels but mine which was a 316i is welded.

how did bmw decide which would be bolt on and welded?

and how easy would it be to make min into a bolt on slam panel is it a case of cutting it off drilling 4 holes and putting 25mm bolts in and henching them up tight?

would my MOT tester/VOSA have anything to say about this? (who actually care about VOSA)

they are all spot welded in place, why would you need to bolt one on ?
