my 93 E30 cab has the plastic bumpers......but my 91 has the metal ones.
I have wanted to swap my metal bumpers for the updated ones ever since I got it. Is this an easy mod and do you know of any DIY write up for this?????

Why dont you just buy some standard bumpers on here, pay for ground delivery and you wont be paying much at all.. take ages but youll get them cheap and look a lot better!!!
And gives your car that "euro look" or as we say over here standard lol
