E-28 Eurobumpers Info

["Kevin & Dianne Miller" <knmlr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a series of articles being done by
Grassroots Motorsport on upgrading an E-12
and an E-28.  The BMP kit was done on the E-28
with all the details in this months issue.  Rob Levinson
had his 535i turbo fitted with this kit, if I remember correctly.
BBS and AC Schnitzer used to make body kits.  Zender can
be found in Bavarian Autosport.  My favorite looking kit
was the AC Schnitzer.  They still had the moulds in Germany
the last time I inquired, but weren't producing any kits.
