BTXP.XD · 06-27-2014, 10:42 AM

do you guys think thisrim would look good on my car?

ASPEC135i · 06-27-2014, 04:39 PM

Lower it first. 1M bumper on a 128i, 4x4 status, and weak stock brake calipers look plain silly.

KcN55 · 07-02-2014, 09:38 PM

Looks good. Have any more pics of the front bumper with that lip on?

jaximointhecut · 07-05-2014, 02:12 PM

wow, that looks amazing. I was choosing a 128 or frs as well. I'm happy with my choice lol.

That's reasonable. What brand?

Turner has a similar one for $390 (+180 shipping), but I don't see a brand listed either: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-18...35i-135is.aspx

(And it looks great, I really hate that stock 128i front bumper).

hmm iim not sure what brand it is, I just ordered from http://www.jl-motoring.com/.
but uh i was talking to my mechanic, because there is this bmw group in Ontario that supplies and uses their shop for discounted installation and paint prices, he said most, if not all places u get the replica bumpers are made from China + there are around 3 or so factories in China that make it. So should be the same as what you linked.

Congrats !!

Just a lil update: I just wrapped the roof area, where it connects to the racks in carbon fiber; looks really nice IMO. If you are curious why I only wrapped the side bars, its because I tried to wrap the roof and I ended up messing up So i don't have enough vinyl for the roof for another time.
Also, I just blacked out the side markers, i think it looks alot better considering I am going for the typical Black on white look. Pictures will come soon.
