    FS: Restored BBS front spoiler

    Hey guys.

    I had this front BBS spoiler completely restored while my 320/6 was in the body shop. It had the usual wear-and-tear so it was fortified, stripped, and repainted to match my car, which is Sepiabruan.

    Since we originally planned to install it, my shop made it as strong as possible. Ultimately, I just decided against putting it on at the time and it's been gathering dust ever since. It's in near-perfect condition, and although I realize very few people have an E21 in this color, it at least saves you the cosmetic repair and can simply be repainted.

    PRICE DROP! $300 + shipping (was $400).

    Second update: I WILL ship it at buyer expense. Came into some large boxes over the holidays. I'd budget $100-$150 given size of box to ship based on location.

    Pickup is in Warwick, Rhode Island.

    Is it a US spec or Euro spec spoiler?

    I bought it in rough condition from a U.S.-based seller so I would presume it to be US spec. However, when test-mounting to my Euro-spec car, it didn't seem to have any fitment issues. Remind me how to confirm so I can answer you 100%?

    The two cut-outs on the front top area of the spoiler on either side would be narrow to accommodate the mounting brackets for the Euro Bumpers or be wider to accommodate the US-bumper shocks. This one has larger/wider cut-outs but functional for either US or Euro bumpers.

    Excellent - thanks for the clarification.

    Damn!! This is the same color as my car (78). Sierra Beige. Question is, "Who wants to be Santa Claus?" If I had 4 notes I'd jump on this in a heartbeat as I'm done rebuilding the mechanical stuff on this car and will beginning the cosmetics.

    Oh SNAP!!! German Engineering is IN DA HAUS YAH!!!

    No, not the same color. (this is not my car. Mine is less shiny)

    I'm with Layne on this one...

    I'd totally be all over this, but the shipping to Oregon would be ugly... and then repainting it to Ascot. GLWS

    Thanks for the clarification. Here's my "barn find" as long as we're posting pictures of brown cars. :-)

    Is this for an early or late valence?

    Just got lucky that it wasn't rusty. Just dusty!

    I'm not sure what it came off of but it fit my late model just fine. I wasn't aware there were big enough differences in the valence to warrant two different BBS spoiler designs...they all look the same to me.

    The BBS only comes in Euro and US (which are nearly interchangeable). There's no early/late version since it entirely covers the air holes in the valance.

    Is that you? I have a can of BMW windshield cleaner I'd send you for your collection when I run across it (might be a while, I just moved).

    Is it I, Jeff. One in the same. If you were willing to part with it, I'd love to add the windshield washer fluid to the collection - thanks so much!

    Now I feel like I should post a photo of my Sepia car here, since I've never seen so may of them all in one thread
    Although I already have a BBS spoiler on mine, I wish I didn't live so far way because the paint on your is probably a lot nicer than mine. GLWS!
