So, who's done 1m panels on a 135i?
Hey
Glad everything worked out. My kit has some slight fitment issues and the car rubs a little at fulllock due to the wheels being wider but my fitment is 10x better than the photos you showed me. I have had the kit adjusted a bit since its initial install and everything fits better.

I recently had some time to examine a 1M very closely. You should be able to bolt up a 1M bumper, fender well liners, and fenders no problem. Your e82 sideskirts however, will not line up in the front and 1M sideskirts will not line up in the rear. It is probably most effective just to have your current ones moulded to match the new fenders.

Another thing I noticed on the 1m, the actual flat portion of rim of the fenders are much thinner than the 135i.

Note, the 1M fender liners are a combination of M3 rear fender liners and special 1M front liners. They don't have prices for them on real OEM but HPA was able to get them for me. I would go to them first if you are considering getting the parts.
