Hi guys can you get this square bumper bracket cover that is missing the photo seperately, or do you have to get the whole bumper, and if so do bmw supply them and how much are they?

cheers

Just realised its hard to see in photo on here, its the square piece next to te indicator, I believe it covers the bumper bracket or tow eye?

Cheers

Thanks Jim, much appreciated, that will save me sifting through realoem.com, as I find when you try and explain any e30 part to bmw parts department, they dont have a clue. lol

I agree, much easier to shout a load of numbers at them.

Hey Jim. What's the latest with your car? I recall you had handling concerns, did you resolve that?

Post Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:48 pm

It was the rubber 'guibo' that goes between the universal joints in the steering. It was completley shot and actually fell apart when i yanked on it. New one fitted and the car drives beautifully now. On the nice days when it came out of the garage this year I have loved driving it and can't wait for next year. I have few couple of jobs to do over the winter like replace a few window seals, a servicing and I'm trying to source a cheap but genuine electric aerial.

I remember your car catching my eye when it was up for sale - it looks very similar to mine, but with darker seating. Is you roof electric or manual?

It is a manual roof. It's very scrufy and will one day be replaced but the car only gets used on dry days so no big deal for now.

I replaced the Motorsport bubble leather with a cardinal red interior, makes a huge difference. Click on the link below my signature pic.

Thanks Jim, I look forward to that. I also notice you have the HLWW rings, so at some point it will have had the system fitted?

Mine is an electric roof - which stopped working a couple of years back, but I think I've managed to get it working....to an extent so far. I'll finish this once the weather gets better.
