3. Don't know if it will be worth it to get another car payment or finish paying off the 135 and then use the rest of the money for extensive suspension/tire upgrades.
4. Ehh...the looks are ok but I honestly still think the look of the original performance bumper follows the lines of the vehicle better.
It does not have the "curtain" effect but it DOES have vents for cooling the braking system....

What do you guys think? Should I keep it or get a new one?

Adrean, do you honestly think this car has 335hp? That would mean a 135i really has 300hp. I cringe everytime I see people complain about the published hp. Come on folks! It clearly has more than that. Plus, OEM hp for whatever reason is stronger than aftermarket one. I'd bet big money a "335hp" 1M is faster than a car with only a reflash. Even if it is only the "is" motor, it weighs over 200lbs+ less. That is awesome!
