That is a pretty fantastic alternative to US/Euro bumpers, looks amazing! Almost like an e30 late model plastic bumper upgrade. If I ever own an E28, this will definitely be happening. Excited to see how the rears turn out!

Very cool idea with the e34 bumpers. Looks really good. Maybe get some side skirts next?

e34 rear bumper has a left side exhaust. so i cut out the middle of the bumper for the e28 exhaust. now im filling in the original hole. should be done in a few days.

after all was said and done, it was relatively simple mounting. it just took me a ton of trial and error.Originally posted by ogynnam View PostI agree with Myles, that E34 bumper is looking great.
Any tips on how you mounted it up? I was thinking of doing this to my E28 and yours is really inspiring 
anyway, i didnt take pictures while i was mounting, but i can describe it.
first i took the e28 bumper and valence off.
so then i took the aluminum reinforcement out of the e34 bumper.
i ended up putting the e28 valence on top of the e34 bumper and traced a rough outline of how the body sits. then cut along that line and put it up to the car.
i ended up cutting quite a bit out of the inside line of the e34 bumper to get it to sit flush. the problem was that the sides of the bumper didnt reach the fender well.
so we kept cutting the inside of the fender until finally it lined up.
Where all those holes are that hold the original rubber cover for the e28 bumper, we drilled in some of this

so the angle iron is inside the e34 bumper, screwed into the already existing holes in the car. then for good measure i hid a couple screws through the top of the e34 bumper into the angle iron. theyre under the kidney grille.
then there are holes on the sides were the valence screws in, i used those holes to mount the sides of the bumper.
after all is said and done i had to do a little grinding to the tow hooks to get the e34 trim to fit.
it was a long process, full of trial and error, and a lot of frustration at some points.
i hope this kind of helps with your question. i know its hard to explain without pictures, but i wasn't takin many pictures when i was working on it.
