What bumper is this?

[AW92]

This bumper reminds me of the M Coupe bumper, is this an aftermarket or OEM? It looks much better than the OEM 1er bumper IMHO.

Makes it look like a Storm Trooper's mask to me.

That's the OEM BMW aero kit on the hatchback 1er.

for those who haven't see star wars (God help us)

There is a very good resemblance

Storm Troopers rock! (go Star Wars!) That bumper, not so much. Well yeah, it's certainly nice, but I love the front end of the 135 to begin with.

Looks like Jed Clampets dog to me. YOMV

Storm Troopers suck!!! They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a lazer gun, always got shot for standing out in the open, and what the hell was that armour good for anyway, other than to make them run around like nannies with their pants on fire!! :eyebulge: And don't get me started on those Wookies!!!

That bumber comes with hatch Aero package. Personally I think the M-sport bumpers look much better.

I still enjoy the aero kit on the 3er coupe - I dont know what they were smoking with the 1er hatch aero kit.

Now I feel old!

e90 punk: What a piece o' junk!

e90 princess: You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.

1addict: She may not look like much, kid, but she's got it where it counts.

Umm, yeah, I like the standard 1er bumper better. Back on topic, ya know.

:biggrin:

The front of the 135i reminds me of the exiled from the Outer Limits episode, "The Zanti Misfits". Anyone in these here parts old enough to remember that show?

Does, "We control the vertical, we control the horizontal" qualify me? ; -)

That last line always bothered me since a parsec is a length (distance) not a velocity.
