In this episode, we install some early model euro bumpers onto the drift car!
Yes, it is a drift car and I don't necessarily NEED euro bumpers and yes, it is a relatively expensive part to have in the US but the car needed something more stylish than the messed up US spec bumpers that were already on it so I figured I may as well up the style points and install these bad boyz! Not to mention, these bumpers CAME with the purchase of this car as apart of the deal so how could I not install them!?
The install process was fairly straight forward and the outcome was very well worth it and, in my opinion, very well worth the price of the parts.

My son just got a E30 from my wife's coworker as a gift. He is so excited. Just got some coil overs and took out the interior. I replaced hes old radio for one with bluetooth yesterday. He is trying to look for rims and tires. We perched a timing kit with the water pump and points but the send the wrong kind 😕. I have a 67 Chevy c10 that I'm working on but I tell you I'm having more fun on this little car because it doesn't fight you on anything you do on it. Thanks for the video he is ordering a bumper kit as well so this is really going to help.

Thats awesome man! Best gift and a great way for him to learn a bit about cars unless he already knows already 😅 hope the video really helps when you guys get to it. Thank you for watching!

Dang looks sweet. Wish my bumpers shined like yours. I think early models with euro bumpers look better then late models.

@derkm 6 лет назад

J Rod it was pretty rough when I first opened them but I polished them out a bit and they turned out nice! And I agree, I love me an early model with euro bumpers 😍

@iamCairn 6 лет назад

Same. Sold my late model vert for an early model for the ability to do euro bumpers

@thegrayone9536 5 лет назад

damn bro when you were mounting the rear bumper you started with the sun out and we come back when its night time lol. Slow and steady wins the race I guess. Also at 8:29 when you stop laughing at how you gotta do it by yourself theres someone in the background laughing at what you said lol.

@derkm 5 лет назад

Oh yeah haha i took a break between that time and at 8:29, the laughing came from a podcast i was listening to on my speakers haha

@11105angel 2 года назад

What’s up bro ! Was it hard to do? What guide did you use and where’d you get the hardware?

@marinoman061 Год назад

What year is your car? Will this make an m1 body kit on my 1987 32ie? It's pre facelift I believe with the vertical lights

@derkm Год назад

This car is a 1986 and your car should be able to fit an mtech 1 body kit as long as you have the euro bumpers installed as well.

@zaydogg 2 года назад

Could you use those mounts and do this with late model plastic bumpers

@derkm 2 года назад

These mounts only work for early model cars with euro bumpers i believe. If you wanted to put plastic bumpers on an early model, you would need to get the stock late model bumper shocks and install those to mount them 😁👍

@InventSmeLa 3 года назад

Did you buy a euro valance too or is that a US spec valance?

@omaraki01 4 года назад

loving that bernie sticker!

@speier 4 года назад

Can you post a shopping list of where I can get the the brackets and mounting hardware? Also where I can get the euro bumpers lol?

@derkm 4 года назад

I gotchuuu 👍 I'll piece together a list in the description and I'll comment again once its uploaded. Used euro bumpers are kinda tough to get your hands on though depending where you are. In the US, you can typically find it on the forums, facebook pages, Craigslist or even some instagram pages like @e30projects who I think should have a few sets coming in from Europe soon.

@rodalecutler8855 3 года назад

Where online did you buy the brackets

@gabrielvillegas8889 6 лет назад

Bro do you know where I can get a front bumper trim? I fucked mine one just a bit it looks so gross 😐

@christophergarcia6221 5 лет назад

Hey man I like your videos and they’re really helpful and keep producing these good ass videos👍🏽. But I was wondering what rims you have on the e30 and the specs of both the wheel and tires

@ethangraylin8995 2 года назад

I just got an 86’ 325e and I’m trying to get rid of the diving board bumpers. Do you have to do a euro conversion in order to install a body kit like mtech? Are there vendors that have kits for the diving board bumpers?

@derkm 2 года назад

Congrats on the new car man! And I haven't personally installed an mtech kit on an E30 but I believe you do need a front euro bumper when installing an mtech1 front valence. I did have an early model zender front valence and had it mocked up with the euro front bumper and it looked alright; might work with US bumpers but wont look as good. As for vendors, I would check out classiceuroparts.com 😁👍

@stevemichaelides1272 6 лет назад

how much for the euro bumpers and parts?

@derkm 6 лет назад

steve michaelides they came with the car as apart of the deal when I bought it but I believe my buddy bought the bumpers for $550ish and the brackets were around $150 I believe for front and rear.

@stevemichaelides1272 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info, continue making vids.

@YoungKiid1o1 6 лет назад

Amazing 😍🙌🏻 hey quick question. When you flipped the front euro brackets did you flipped them form right to left or up side down ?

Sergio Matias thanks man! And upside down 😊

@timetosesh2684 4 года назад

Borbet Type A 16x9 et24 with 205/40/r16. They are also for sale at the moment 😁

1986 325 US model

@MistermookS 6 лет назад

325e?

@derkm 6 лет назад

@@MistermookS Just 325 but pretty much the same motor i believe. I get confused when it comes to which is eta and super eta though lol

@MistermookS 6 лет назад

Lol tell me about it. Im not much knowledgeable on e30s. Im planning to get one soon. from where my budget is at, im looking to get the early models coz its cheaper. Planning on drifting it too. how are these cars in terms of making them slide?

@derkm 6 лет назад

@@MistermookS haha i feel it and theyre dope cars to slide but not as straight forward to get to drift-spec than e36s imo. E36's are simpler and better out the box thanks to the better suspension design (i.e. different rear trailing arm setup), stronger/generally better motor, cheaper & more plentiful parts, etc. Im no drift expert though but this is also info I've gathered from others with experience. E30s get you style points tho haha

@lifetime1884 5 лет назад

@ADAMSVEND 5 лет назад

is this an 87

@derkm 5 лет назад

An 86 🤟

@ADAMSVEND 5 лет назад

derkm okk sick, i’m looking into an 87 right now only thing is the back. i like the look but i’m trying to see if maybe there’s a valance i could use to “hide” just a bit more of what’s underneath (tire and exhaust)

@derkm 5 лет назад

@@ADAMSVEND ahh I know exactly what you mean man. They make aftermarket rear aprons like the zender ones or you can even cut off the rear apron from a late model and make a way to mount them on an early model. That's what one of my buddy's did. I personally dont mind the look with euro bumpers tho 😊

@ADAMSVEND 5 лет назад

derkm yea yea that makes sense, question do you have instagram, can i actually get your opinion on the e30 i’m looking into. i’ve only got a couple of buddies who own bmw’s (e36’s) and it’d be cool to get an opinion from someone who basically owns the same model (sedan tho)
