Body Parts & Years
Group:
I have a question about the interchangeability of body parts between years. So, I have a 95 E300D and I want to know what years I can get the bumpers from that will fit my vehicle correctly. Thoughts? Appreciated, Andy

Post face lifted w124's should be a good starting point.

Sorry for the ignorance...can you clarify? Will it matter if it's just a 300-series? Would a 92 model fit?

All 124 front bumpers will fit. If you go with a pre '90, you will have to drill holes for the chrome "horseshoes" in the corners. The other change is that the '94/'95 have a smooth texture impact strip, paints nice and glossy, the earlier ones didn't have a painted impact strip and it is slightly textured.
Yes, a '92 will fit, so will an '86. My daughter has gone through 3 on her '94 (identical to the '95 except for painted wheels), so it currently has an '88 front bumper.

The rear bumper of the '95 has a long impact strip on the side. Earlier models had short impact strips. So if you'll replace the whole bumper, not a problem (perhaps) but if just the impact strip, then get a '95 for the rear.

Early W124s (1986, 1987 up to ???) had the outside air temperature sensor at the left corner of the bumper; later models put it near the license plate.

The front hole is there on the early bumpers, so they're interchangeable.
