Does a M3 rear bumper fit a standard E30? I want to fit the genuine M3 bumper to my car.

Cheers

Ive seen pics of the front M3 bumper on a non M3. I think on RV3Limted.com

Not sure if the mountings are in the same place, but the corners were cut slightly to allow the sides to bend in and meet with the non M3 arches. You could probably do the same with the rear :?

I have the M3 rear arches but just want to know if the genuine M3 rear bumper mounts in the same position?

Cheers

I'm going to sound thick but does that mean that if they are in the same position then it should be a staight swap?

Somone must have tried this?? :mad:
