The 135 parts should fit ok, but I am not speaking from experience. I know there are some on this forum who have done it. Since you have a 128, the 128i M sport parts look like the 135 front and rear and side, but you will have an easier time fitting the 128 M sport parts. Keep in mind if you change the front bumper/facia, you will also need to change the front fender liners and the cover under the engine, since they are different for the M sport pieces. The RealOEM site does not list the M sport parts for the 128, but all the 125i M sport parts are the exact same parts as the 128 M sport parts. See this link: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...61&hg=51&fg=15 for the front and rear bumpers, and here for the fender liner and under engine panel: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...61&hg=51&fg=75 You will have an easier time making the parts fit if you order the 125i M sport parts than the 135 parts, although they look the same. The 125 M sport parts have allowances for your fog lights. When I wrecked some underbody panels on my 128 M sport, I had to order the 125 parts, since the 128 diagrams did not include the M sport pieces. I had no problem ordering the 125 parts from Tischer. This will not be an inexpensive project.

I'd get the BMW Performance front air dam if I were to go to all that trouble...unless you've found a good deal on a used 135i bumper that's already the right color.
