135 M-bumper for 128i

backtoreality15 · 08-18-2008, 08:54 PM

So after a collision, they have to replace the front bumper, which is on back-order. I'm thinking of just paying the difference (from what insurance covers) and ordering the 135i M-bumper for my 128i. I will, of course, leave my 128i badge. :headbang: Vote!

I see nothing wrong with it. The rear would bother me though. I'm neurotic that way.

^^^ It would look out of place IMO without the rear bumper as well. Other than that go for it or get the tii aero one whichever you prefer.

Give up my fog lights? No way!

I love the the 135 front clip it looks alot sportier but I wouldn't replace it unless I have to replace the front anyways like in your situation. I say go for it.

emm3tt · 08-19-2008, 01:02 PM

I'd go with the aero bumper.

jbenington86 · 08-19-2008, 01:05 PM

you need to go out and get rear ended so you can get the 135i rear bumper

hahaha jk

the bumper still has foglight supports on it so he can still have fogs

Get the Euro M-Bumper, it's available all over the engine range, looks like a 135i bumper with fogs.

I'm not so sure if I'm going to have them installed, however. The flat fogs on the 135i bumper might look awkward... Does anyone have pictures of how it will look exactly?

ipp · 08-19-2008, 01:16 PM

This is what I'm talking about.

backtoreality15 · 08-19-2008, 01:28 PM

I just spoke with Dan@United and he said that the 135i M-Bumper kit comes with everything except the actual fog lights, and the 128i ones would not go on it. You order the round ones separately. I'm assuming it would look similar to what is pictured above.

That you dont have to. The foglights from the M sport kit fits, as the m bumper is the same as on the 135.

Dano · 09-07-2008, 02:19 PM

how did this finished, did you finally put the 135i front ?? ..

bily · 09-08-2008, 07:13 AM

Sounds like it could get expensive to retrofit with the lights and all, but would be cool.

How did the car handle the collision? Any pics?

Dano · 09-19-2008, 06:07 PM
