with a bumper like that, youre gonna need some new wheels

I35it · 09-04-2013, 10:17 AM

If you want to know how matte black looks without purchasing try Plasti Dip, and then make the choice. A can will run you like $7, and you can do it in less than an hour. If you don't like it, peel it off, and order the BMWP high gloss.

J-Rod · 09-04-2013, 11:25 AM

Almost forgot!!! That bumper

Fifty3bags · 09-04-2013, 11:53 AM

What bumper is it, Kerscher or Rieger? Looks great on the Alpine White, I've been thinking about adding this bumper

Also, I plasti-dipped my kidneys and I like the matte look. I also have matte black emblem overlays and plasti-dipped my diffuser as well to tie it all together. I would go this route first before purchasing the BMWP kidneys, because like J-Rod said you can just peel it off if you don't like it.

nacaruh · 09-04-2013, 12:13 PM

Love that bumper!!!

Canasian · 09-04-2013, 12:44 PM

If between those two, matte black is the shizzle.

DTR · 09-05-2013, 10:40 AM

looks like a kerscher/DTM one.... the reiger one has a more exaggerated lower portion of the bumper.

C.junior · 10-24-2013, 06:55 PM

Need some rims next ASAP any suggestions?

fasteddie222 · 10-25-2013, 12:31 AM

Looking great but it's true you need new wheels asap.

Joaco135 · 10-25-2013, 08:50 AM

Still no answer on the bumper....

C.junior · 11-15-2013, 08:28 PM

Last night out ready for winter storage

andrey_gta · 11-17-2013, 01:38 PM

Nice front
Looks very nice with the regular side skirts.

Do you have a side profile photo? want to see the flow.

Thanks man just deciding on what rims to get for next summer

C.junior · 12-12-2013, 08:17 PM

Bumper is Kerscher from Germany

andrey_gta · 12-12-2013, 09:41 PM

I sometimes have a wish to slap that on the 128i, but would go with fog lights added and debate if the front s too powerful for the non M body.

I think we wash in the same car wash, or very similar. Does that one have a Petro and a Handwash service?

No this ones just coin up its self why don't you do the 135 front end? If you think this one might be to much for the 128

A_Squared · 12-12-2013, 11:45 PM

Along with the wheels you should get the CF front lip.....really sets that front bumper off
