I'd love to have those on my 135i someone needs to make them!

Hey steve612, would you mind posting a few straight on shots? Also, what is this bumper made of?

Hello Shocknawe,

the bumper is made by fiberglass. I will take some straight on shots later.

One question for you, did you have the mesh cover only the brake ducts and center section? Or do you have mesh behind the side vertical slits as well? Car looks stunning with the bumper!

looks very nice!!
what are your plans for wheel setup?

Your car looks fantastic, my cars twin but without the Kersher bumper, I must get one

Looks very aggressive!

ShocknAwe · 05-06-2013, 10:12 PM

Looks GREAT in black. Always thought this bumper looked funny in white, hugely different. Are the LEDs functional as fogs? The only thing holding me back on this is the durability of the bumper, I would hate for it to turn into swiss cheese over a couple years.

I love this! But I'm worried if I decide to go the same route it wouldn't look as good on a lighter car

I got mine from http://www.schmiedmann.com

How long did it take for you to get it in the mail?

What is the color of your car? On Kerscher web side it has a light blue 1 series with the same bumper and it looks fine.

Space Grey, yes you're right the blue looks good too! But black looks best

about 3 weeks to 4 weeks including international shipping time.

The car desperately needs more aggressive wheels to fit the general aesthetics of what you've done, but once that's taken care of, you will have a beauty of a car on your hands. Very nice work OP, I agree with others that the aftermarket "1M" bumpers look best on darker colors. I've seen the Arkym bumper in AW and it makes the front of the car look too busy and wide. The Performance sideskirts really tie help to pull off the bumper too. Sweet.

Thanks for the compliment. The wheel should be my next project. However, I have hard time thinking about what to get. Do you have any recommendation?

Wescuddles · 05-09-2013, 12:55 PM

Looks great bro!

One more question. How was the fitment for this? I'll be ordering mine on Monday and the body shop is a little curious as to what they are getting into.

I can't wait, looks sooo good!
