Any pics of the Aerodynamic Kit for the 128i?

I see this as a dealer installed option but have yet to see it in photos.

they do it in the uk and aus as part of the m sport pack. looks exactly the same as a 135, except the 125/128 has fogs

The US spec performance aero kit is not the same as the EU M-Sport package.

The Performance Aero Kit will look the same on the 128i as it does on the 135i. A quick search will pull up a few threads with pictures.

The performance rear aero kit appears to be the same M-tech style diffuser as the 135i and you can pick it up for $280 (not counting paint, install or shipping) from some of the suppliers in the "Commercial Sales" section.

If you use the configurator on bmwusa.com it will update the photo when you add/remove the aero kit.

yes I did this. It looks like the 128i Aero Kit adds a thin strip in the middle of the side on the doors. I wanted to see what this looked like in photo. Also the rear rendering of the bumper is glitched on the configurator. All in all an inaccurate visual of what the kit will really look like.

Ill keep looking.

I found it at Tischer, but it seems I need the M bumper too for fitment. This is 1700 for the bumper and diffuser though.

The CF diffuser in that photo isn't the piece I was talking about.

The standard 135i rear bumper and the 128i rear aero kit are essentially a two piece bumper. A painted bumper with an attached black plastic diffuser. The rear aero kit should include both parts and be a complete replacement for the stock 128i bumper.

That $1700 CF diffuser simply replaces the black plastic diffuser with one that's made from CF and sculpted slightly differently.

At this point no one's posted pictures of a 128i with the rear aero kit and no CF diffuser. The closest we've seen a set of pictures from outside the US with some 12x variant that had the full performance kit including the CF diffuser (the white 1 in a parking garage). That being said, I'm fairly confident that it truly is just a 135i rear bumper assembly but we'll know for sure in about a week when my car comes in - I ordered the rear aero kit from my local dealer about 2 weeks ago and as long as the piece comes in I'm having them install it as soon as the car arrives.
