Lightweight Bumper Mounts suitable for BMW E36 – Radical Weight Reduction for Track Tools
This lightweight bumper absorber replacement for the BMW E36 replaces the heavy factory bumper absorbers and mounts and is specially designed for motorsport, track days, and drift vehicles.
The goal: maximum weight savings at the front and rear of the vehicle – where it matters most.
