I know the confusion you mean.

M-tech II front bumper will fit and so will the rear as the convertables have the same rear arches as the post 88 e30's. The only thing you need to worry about with the rear bumper is the mounting shocks are in a different place and you will need to get some new ones.

An m-tech II rear is not as easy to install on a pre-88 non-vert.

Can someone else confirm this is correct?

To correctly mount the front bumper and lower apron you'll have to change the front valance to accomodate the later shape fog-lights as well.

Go for it!
