    Default Does Anyone Know If E30 Facelift Bumper Shocks Fit The Earlier Bumper?

    I Have A New Front Fascia And Need To Move My Bumpers In. I Don't Want To Drill The Shocks And Push Them In. I Will Probably Have To Try This Myself, But Thought Maybe Someone Else Had Already. I Have The Facelift Shocks, And Would Like To Use My Aluminum Bumpers If I Can.

    That's How My Rear Emblem Is, The Front Is Only Lacking The White. I'm Waiting For The Rest To Disappear. I Love The Basket-weaves!!! My E30 Is Schwarz Black, My First Black Vehicle, And I've Found It Easier To Ignore Washing It Than To Even Try. Mother Nature Keeps A Close Eye On Me, Striking The Area With Terrible Weather Of Some Sort Everytime I Get Out The Hose.

    Is That A Real Bmw Fire Extinguisher? I've Never Seen One, Must Be Rare. (very Smart Touch) I Know Of More Than One Incident Where Someone Trusted Their Own Work, Only To Start On Fire A Couple Miles Down The Road Without The Convenience Of A Small Fire Extinguisher. (my Brother Is One Of These, No Offense A.j.) When I Get Around To It, I'll Have To Shoot Some Photos Of My Own To Share. Thanks For The Pics!

    I Am Sad To Report The Removal Of My Broken And Deteriorated Sport Seats, (replaced With Cheap Recaro Knock-offs That Really Don't Sport Any Of The Recaro Sophistication). If I Had Only Known Before Hand, I May Have Taken The Time To Tear Them Down, Repair Frame Damage, And Have Them Recovered. Instead I Have Mounted A Pair Of Small Extinguishers In An Unfortunately Obvious Location On The Kick Panels. The Good News Is, I Stole Them Out Of My E21,(poor Little Beautiful Car, Sold To A Teenage Racecar Driver Wannabe Who Knows Nothing At All About What He Owns), As It Was The Only Thing I Could Use In My E30 And The Price Was Right! I Will, However, Keep Handy That Part Number Because I Know A Fellow That Still Has His Sport Seats. Thanks!
