would these body kits work on an e28?

I agree with Chris. If you can't fabricate and make mods to the e34 bumpers it's going to look like a warmed up dog turd. You will also have to deal with how to close up the gap where the e34 exhaust exits on the left side of the bumper and make a center opening for the e28's exhaust. Hopefully it will look better than the pic of the e34 bumpered car that someone posted in eye candy. Id done right it can look good, but it can also look really bad if not executed well.

You know what they say, hope in one hand...

Why hope for euro bumpers? There are people here that import and sell them.

Well, people hoped for change, too.

$$=something I don't have

I went to the junk yard today, let me tell you philly junkyards are extensive...anyway, i found a red e34 with back bumper but it didnt have the black trim around it so that wasnt good, plus the car had no wheels, so it was flat on the ground and impossible to jack. I ended up finding an e28 tho, a black 535i and snagged a new shift knob and a tag. Hopefully I will find more stuff next time!

I hate to say it, but every time I've gone into a project with that mentality I've regretted the result. I have a feeling this would be one of those projects.

What the hell is with kids these days? Hacking on a set of E34 bumpers isn't going to do anything for your car's value, and its gonna look like shit. Why do people want to make their cars look uglier than they already are? Spend the weekends that you'd be undertaking this silly project by drinking instead.

Hey, nothing beats the guy who put Mk3 Jetta bumpers on his 535is. He was broken down and I offered a hand, but he said, "oh, it's fine." I said, "I guess so."

There are some great mods here. I really feel this board can benefit from this website.
