BMW 3-Series bumper covers
Rule 4.7.6. Replacement of OEM Parts /
Tech interpretation and enforcement of BMW 3-Series bumper covers is that E30’s cannot use E36 covers. E36’s may use aftermarket E36 M3 replacement cover but must remove lower “lip” or pay 10 points as a splitter.
The 1994 E36 BMW came from the factory with all the M tec (M3) bodywork which makes the M3 bodywork legal for the E36 platform.
