No fender work needed with proper offsets.

looks good! it's crazy how much wider and more aggressive the fenders are on the 1m. I wish this were a more cost effective swap.

I'm with you there. I mean ER already made a kit for the front, I'm waiting for someone to make a rear kit.

If not I'll just have to go this route, but leave the front stock because I'm not a huge fan of full conversions But looking great man, excited to see this done!

[631twentyeighteye]

I agree, i think i would do 1m front since it is bolt on followed by custom rear arches similar to what bmx and venom are doing.

clean !

I love the ER kit, ilikebmxbikes had that on his car

In all honesty, the cost is directly proportional to how well you know the shop and where you are. MyBad135 is paying much less on labor than we are.

Don't quote me on this or get mad at RevoZport if they never release it... but I was told they had some leftovers from a 135i->1M bodykit they were/are developing. So that means they have a body kit in the works for the 135i. Going by how much revozport charges for other panels and bits, it wont be cheap. I was told the project name is the 1M Black edition after Mercedes-Benz Black tuning division and how those cars are a step above the AMG cars.

If memory serves, that never got released and the rumor is that their picture is from an actual 1M rather than their bodykit. Please correct me if I am wrong with an actual customer owned kit. I would have gone that route if it was available as it is much cheaper than my project has cost insofar.

Since you can purchase it i'd assume it got released?

I just feel like its not the correct way to do it. Fiberglass rear fenders mated to metal ones god knows how, probably isn't the best for the long term.

Yeah I wasn't too sure of it either but I heard great things from someone else who went this route on a 3 a while ago.

I have never seen the prior kit get any press other than that release and that was ages ago. With all the initial skepticism they had it removed from their site for a while. I'm honestly surprised to see them still advertising it without any customer car pictures...
