You will absolutely need the E36 bumps and/or shave the front mounts (8mm is the recomendation ala Dinan) if you wish to have enough travel to not be constantly bouncing on the bumps. Has nothing to do with age of shocks other than older shocks controlling rebound even more poorly - it's about length of available bump travel. I first tried just the e36 bumps and it wasn't enough, now I'm shaving the guide mounts as well, though no bump now as I'm on B8s (internal bumpstops).
