In '88 BMW did a minor facelift of the E30. The '88 model had the larger bumbers, but starting in '89 they went to the Euro style small ones.

The elipsoidal headlights were only in '88 and '89. These lights are great as long as you put covers over them to prevent breakage, as they are very expensive to replace.

I own both an '86 325es and '89 325i, the interiors are identical, the layout under the hood is different but that might be an e vs i thing.
