I have sold quite a bit of Rieger of the years, we did a full kit of theirs on our A3, and loved it. You can check it out here.

bumpers and the fittment is great. Please contact us for any further info.
Thanks,

The sales department can't speak English... Seems legit!

I'm not sure I'll be going for the 1M look bumper just yet but I've put in enquiries regarding the rear diffuser. I'm not bothered about carbon fibre honestly so the carbon-look is not an issue for me, that's the option I'll likely choose.

Rieger have been really helpful and put me in touch with a UK supplier although, sadly the price that the UK supplier quoted me does not equal the exchange of currencies i.e. they are lumping an extra £65 on top of RRP + £25 delivery. I guess they need to make their cut somewhere but RRP should be set with cost prices considerably lower for the reseller to make profit. Once again it looks as if the U.S has more reliable and trustworthy importers. I hate how far behind the UK is with these damn E8X/E9X/N54/N55 platforms, we'll likely catch up one day when the F-series are due to expire.

Just to update, the supplier which I contacted was not an authorised dealer. Bascially they were contacting and ordering from the authorised UK suppiler, buying at RRP and then selling the goods on to their customers at RRP + their mark-up. Thieves.

Anway, I've contacted Rieger and The authorised UK retailer and have come up with the following info...

"New product line not available until Spring 2013"

I've asked for clarification that this is definitely the case i.e there is no chance of any small stock releases before hand but it looks as if their E82 products are not yet manufactured, only the ones shown on the demo car. Maybe we'll have to sit on the pre-order list for the parts.

Correct.
Rieger here in the US told me yesterday that production finishes at the end of Jan, so they would be getting their shipment in sometime in Mid Feb.
The pricing will be released tomorrow, so I will update you guys once I have that.

That includes:
Front Bumper

wow, good thing lol, now heres another opinion i wanted to get from you guys, would it look wanna be or poser to put this on your car? or should i just get a nice diffuser and front lip for the m sport package? i like the 1m style but dont want to look like "gt" mustang with a "cobra" kit, so what do you guys think

[jameshtruong]

i think kerscher makes the rear as well

I put a m3 style bumper on my 335. I don't think it made it look like an M3 at all, but it looked much better then oem bumper. I also kept my 335 badge and OEM Mtech rear bumper.

Unfortunately the 135 has one ugly ass front bumper, and the only lip I think that's looked halfway decent is the 3d lip, but that's over $1K without paint. I think the 1m bumper would be the best looking option.

Just don't add an M badge.

[jameshtruong]

thats dope. thanks for the input
