Heres the bumper but it comes with a bodykit as well...

where does it comes from tho??!!!
and what engines were in them??

[fuzzy]

isnt that an american car bumper, so any american e30 would have them

[Gwynleym10]

Its a US version 325e with "diver board" bumpers

bumpers look hideos, in most people opions..

325e has a 2.7 eta engine, its low revving and pretty economical.
It is slower and far less powerful than injection 2.5 engines.

[Gwynleym10]

only early us cars have them (equivilant to our chrome bumpers)

Maybe an iX kit,think the kit on these have arch pieces!

[chris325]

hmmm
the guys sayin its real fast... ill have to drive it n see...

Did only the ix's have the arch peices..?
ill have to take a pic and shopw u guys... i know the bumpers look hideos, but with the kit they look quite proper!

Its got cream leather too...!

I'll have to get pics and see if anyone wants anything!
cheers

Those stupid bumpers were a result of the American "5Mph rule".
That one in the pic does not look like an IX, either a standard 4dr 325i or a 325E

325ix 4 wheel droves had the arch extentions but they never came with a 2.7 engine as standard.

So my guess is either it's had a 2.7 built off the 2.5 lump or someone has put an eta 2.7 in it from a 325e. Probably the latter

Maybe still some wierdo has fitted the ix bodykit to a 325e?

who knows!

Minus the Wheel arch extensions.....

u can see the boot badge says 325i and those are standard valances. But he said there are wheel arch extentions then the picture has none on it i'm a bit lost now
