welcome to the zone...

Best bumper to go for would be one that hides it.

Do excuse Munky. He has a heart of gold, but a sense of humour that is different to say the least...

:rofl:

I just dont think these cars suit quad exhausts. I had a quad on my last car and it looked the proverbial danglies, but I dunno if it would work on an e30...

I am open to being proved wrong. And on that note...

All the exhausts I've seen come out through or under the rear valence.

Welcome to the site, mate! You'll love it here.......... the members are friendly and helpful. :D

Yeah, the pipes do come from the rear valance. Guess you'll have some cutting to do to make it fit nicely and look neat. That has to have been a custom made exhaust, right? :?:

Looking through my Bimmer photo album, there are some tourers with what looks like aftermarket bumpers or body kit parts below the original bumper. Is that what you mean?

Here you go mate, found this on the net for you.....thinks it's a rear bumper /valance thingy.

Not into bodykits on Bimmers myself, but maybe that's what you have in mind. There's room for your 4 tail pipes too :) You'd need to check it would fit a touring model though.......

Think I can safely say I'll never be buying anything from the site on that link! Still, whatever rocks your boat!
There's no difference between the floorpan or panels from the bumper down on a saloon from a touring.

I saw that very rear bumper/valance on a car on ebay last night.................like I said, I'm not into body kits on BMs, and this confirmed it; in the words of Trey from The Apprentice: it looked shite/bollox

I think we should organise a whip round for a professional DoS hit on that site until they promise to stop listing kits for E30s....
