I'm not recalling much difference between euro bumpers except for rear side panels. Got pics of what u refer to?

You found one!? Awesome!
IIRC, the valances should be interchangeable.
When your enemy is making a mistake, do not interrupt him.
I had this problem with my car the issue was the piece under the headlights on the top of the bumper was different, it was flat an mine had more of an angle. i took the bbs valance off and put it on my euro bumper i had along with the bumper trim for the early bumper

I've gone thru so many euro bumpers and bbs valences. IIRC the early and late bbs valences are different. Ladt time i had an early one was like 7 years ago

Does everyone want a BBS Spoiler now days ? I have one on my car and do not like it that "much".
Imo the BBS lines and height don't fit the e23 at all

I just got confirmation that the bumper and valance was going on an 83, so it appears it's for a late e23... woo hoo. Does the front bumper bolt-on as easy as the rear bumper? Any modifications necessary?
You should be shot.

Love your car e30luv318i. I'm really envious of all you 745i guys... It sucks living in Cali and knowing I'm stuck with my slow m30b34.
You have a LOT to be gained with just a diff swap and chip for that Motronic on your 8:1 B34.
Could always drop in a B35 which is pretty much invisible to your CARB guys and makes nearly same power on 87 octane as the 10:1 B34.
I make E23 parts.

10/1984 745i
11/1984 745i
11/1984 735i (10:1-265/6)
Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.
745i in cali ain't no thang

Pic on my green Achlat green e23 with bbs spoiler. Hihi
Old topic - I know question is: are pre 83 and post 83 rear bumpers the same? they look the same on photos and need to buy one for '86 but all parts I can find nearby are from 80-81 cars..

I installed an early euro rear bumper on my late 735, they look much better IMO.
Just make sure to get the side trim, which is completely different.

Side trim still available, and the trim pieces that tie them to the bumper also still available but $$$- I've got 3 of the 4 pieces, can't bring myself to pay $190 for the last piece...

Side trims are there.
just need part of rear bumper maybe from the pre 83 745:

Looks like all you need is the bumper rubber and clips... Still available
