Im looking at gettin a front splitter for my car, (the original spiler broke off before I bought the car) but it is for a 3251s, will it fit? Or can it be easily retrofitted? Thanks a lot

yeah, specifically that's the pre '88 iS airdam... and it will bolt up to your car no problem... all u gotta do is find all the mounting hardware... and that's easier said than done, since there's a bunch of brackets that you need that i believe are NLA from the dealer

i know cuz i want one too [mad]

a buddy of mine is getting the stuff together to put one on his e30... if u wanna get more info, hit him up on AIM... his SN is penguin8sz (hope he doesn't mind me giving his SN to everyone who asks about the iS airdam [fake] [:D] )

he's actually selling one for about 275.. but that's not gonna happen for a couple months & i have first dibbs [^]

equate,

if you want to upgrade your 87 325is to the newer style bumper system and spoiler/splitter setup...they are relatively easy to find...and unlike the original es/is style spoiler, the parts/spoilers are still in production.

The only major part you would need to update would be the front upper/lower valances. The best way to do that would be to go to a junk yard. Even if the car isn't an 'is' model...the valance can still be used for the newer bumper style...and who knows, you go crazy and even mount and original m-tech 2 kit. I've only seen it done once or twice on an 'is' model with the original BMW parts...not an aftermarket replica. It would look extremely choice on the e30 with the early style tail lights. [thumb]

oh, and Equate... here's a diagram of most of the stuff u need... it requires three of those brackets that u see sitting in the middle... there's also two outer brackets that are much simpler... i think they're all plastic (i know the ones in the pic are) and break easy... they're also NLA from the dealer [mad]
