Have to weld, should be something like this pic (should be done much better than this laa)

Hope you get a good job done. Poor welding and lack of metal treatment will invite rust within 2 years.

 

[fabianyee]

one way is to push the bumper back and patch the gap at the back with fiberglass..

Thanks for all your advice. Will update you guys once the welding done..

How come you decided to swap from Metal bumpers to Plastic (M20 to M40). It looks like your car had M technic bumpers before?

Are M40 (plastic) bumper cars that rare in Malaysia?

Hmm very interesting, is that because enthusiasts own them and won't let them go? Or because not that many were imported?

What about tourings/wagons are they hard to find as well? In Canada all the wagons are imported from Japan or Germany. No wagons (E30) were ever imported to Canada by BMW in the 80's/90's.

sorry to thread jack!

a very good friend of mine just took ownership of an ori plastic-bumper 325i 4 door, and it's fully loaded. idiot got it damn cheap too! these E30's are indeed not easy to come by, but if you're patient enough and look real hard, you'll stumble across such gems..

yup, that idiot got it for a deal, due to being very closed to good friends who was there to help him. I was told the car was a bona-fide Msport 2 version with close ratio manual with the 3.73 LSD and Original Mtechnic suspension set up. September 1990 model.
