I like the aggressiveness of the lip a lot, my only concern is because it is so low and because the bottom of the lip doesn't sit flush with the ground that if you scrape the bottom, it might still be visible. I think the styling is awesome, a beefier kerscher M bumper with a nice lip molded in

OP any plans on heading to bimmerfest this year again?

Had the tow hook cover shaved and didn't get the holes cut out for the headlight washers.

Damn that looks clean as!! Loving it!

Really, that looks awesome. They did a great job with the styling and this is the first aftermarket bumper I have seen that I would actually purchase.

Downside? No matter how awesome it is, it isn't worth $1100 unpainted. Maybe $600.

I agree with this 100%, I scrape the shit out of my stock bumper quite a bit on my stock suspension, this thing would get eaten alive by the roads and driveways of New England!
That being said, the bumper does look means as hell, nice work.

concerning the height of this bumper - The 1M front bumper drops about 1.5" lower than the 135i bumper.

Is it possible to see a photo of the bottom of the bumper? where it bolts up to the front underbody shielding?

hugen · 02-17-2013, 08:09 PM

What material is this bumper? Fiberglass? Polyurethane ?

Tab135 · 02-17-2013, 08:52 PM

This will also determine if i purchase or not.

can you please chime in IVAN@pyspeed

BSM 135i · 02-18-2013, 02:47 PM

PWC - Poly Woven Composite, the bumper is really SOLID! I'm sure Deeb0oXD can also chime in on this.
