both front and rear go on, but to stick out a little on the ends.

Kos have you fitted one on the rear of an E30?

What was needed other than the bumper, parts wise and what modifications were needed to the car?


Cheers

Cheers, will await your response. Is your car a facelift version?

There will be a gap between the inside edge of the bumper and the sides of the rear quarter....

You may have another problem depending on whether the car is a pre / post face lift... my guess is as the M3's were based on the pre face lift shells then the bumper *may* be too short on the sides, ie it might not reach the wheel arch edge... but this will depend on the original M3 arch design / position. As the only M3 i own is 4" long i can't measure them for you.

ok mate, ill take it off for you at the weekend and take some pics. Mines a 1983 323i with the m3 rear quaters on but doesnt look like the bumpers been messed with to fit.

Let you know over the weekend at some point, ill get some pics

That's the point i was trying to make, with M3 rear quarters all will be OK - obliviously, but on a pre / post face lift car the rear arch lip *may not* be in the same place on the rear quarter, did that make sense?
