I have a 73 with the long side bumper extensions  that conform to the rear body indentation. I like the tucked-in look. Will the length of your replacement tips, after mounting with your altered bumper brackets,  still match the indentations?

 

Yes the long rear bumper sides conform to the notched cutouts in the rear panel where the corner wraps around the side.

These bumpers come out of Vietnam, not very expensive, they use FedEx to ship, well packed and you can get the bumper brackets from Bluntech for around $325.00 and start your bumper conversion !

 

I think at the end of the day the bodywork will be more expensive than the bumpers.

Hey Chris, It's been since December since I bought the short rear bumper with cutouts, and you advertise allow 4-5 weeks for delivery.  Well it has been twice that time, and still do not have an update from you.  You have had my money since December, do you think you can send me the bumper I ordered this week?  I'm very disappointed.

I apologize for the long wait. I have emailed you with an update. This year we are experiencing major delays due to the Lunar New Year. I am very sorry...I have been pushing as hard as I can to get your shipment.

Can someone elaborate on the bodywork needed to make these fit, or are they plug-n-play when you buy the proper mounts? I’m a little confused. This would be for a ‘76 square tail. Thanks.

Hey Seth. So the body work that would need to be done is purely cosmetic when using the conversion brackets that are offered on the website.

Here is a brief overview of the holes that are left when converting from late model bumpers to early: There are holes in the front fenders and the rear quarter panel that are left from the accordion side mounting points, as well as cutouts in the front nose where the late model brackets are inserted (the bracket kit provides the sheet metal to close up these cutouts around the conversion brackets), also there are holes which span across the lower part of the rear panel, I think there is roughly 8-10 screws which are used to mount the rubber flap which covers the gap from the rear panel to the the inside lip of the late model bumper. The rear bracket mounting holes are covered by the rear bumper. Another option, if body filling isn't one,  is putting plastic grommets which can be found at your local hardware store to plug each hole and paint them to match the color of the car. This option is more of a "quick fix". Please email me at chris@02bumpers.com if you have any other questions. Hope this clears some things up!

The brackets will help you mount the new bumpers (not plug and play) it’s more like fiddle with them till they look right. The bodywork is something that can be done at a later time, it just depends on your OCD...

 

By bodywork, do you mean plugging and painting the holes, or cutting and using Bond-o to shape the bumpers and fenders to contour/go cleanly with the steel bumpers? You mentioned that the bodywork would be more expensive than the bumpers and brackets, which is part of what had me confused. I won’t be using a micrometer to check spacing, but more like OCD to the point that I laugh at panel gap and alignment on a Tesla Model 3, and wouldn’t want it on my car. (Your car looks great, by the way.) Thanks for any help.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
