I will talk to LTBMW and confirm what the bumper will be made out of but I'm pretty sure it will not be fiberglass for sure.

Basically the way this prototype bumper was made was using 2 OEM bumpers. A 1M one and a 135i one. They were then cut and molded together. So you would get the OEM fit and finish while still having that aggressive 1M front. The SLeK 1M lip has fit on the E9x 1M bumpers so far and I believe it should fit on here as well but we will test it soon.

Sorry no plan to put a lip into the mold. It will allow those that don't want a lip to be able to not have one.

Not sure what you mean but 2 bumpers were used to create this. A stock 1M and 135i bumper. They were then merged together to make it OEM fitment but look like a 1M front.

@Ammonia, 450usd? Yeah i guess that leaves about 300ish for shipping.
Guess if both of these are made of the same material and the LTBMW stays around 1200 then ill be working towards a kerscher before i leave here.
It is really nice to have an option in the states now though. Love the work that companies like SleK and LTBMW and others are doing for the 1ers.

Sorry the bumper is already off my car to start the next stage of mass production.
