What all parts of this do I need to put the euro valence on so that my new euro bumper will work and eventually be able to put on a m-tech spoiler

See my post (#6) in this thread. It should answer most of your questions

I hoping to get by without #8, do you think if I got REALLY BIG screws that I could get by without #8?

I dont know what #8 you looking at but its the valance. You just need the valance... reuse the screws from you old valance.

While I don't speak from first hand experience, I believe the m-tech 1 front spoiler/airdam will work fine with the US early model metal valance which came with your '87 325is.

The only catch would be if you want the integrated fog lights installed on the m-tech 1 spoiler then you'd have to cut fog light holes in your existing US valance. Shouldn't be to hard to make the modifications.

If you do decide to buy a new front euro valance then here's what you want:

You didn't pick up on my sarcasm, obviously #8 is needed

I was asking what other parts besides the valence would be needed, like #7

I thought you were pulling my leg

#7 is not needed. I pulled it for my swap thinking I needed it... but you dont. Ask away, I will be happy to awnser your questions.

Wherd. You pretty much answered my question since I can reuse the regular screws if I go that route. I may stay with the US valence and see if I can fit my intercooler behind without too much cutting then put on a MT1 or z*nder front
