128 to 130 euro front end?

I wonder if this 130 M-package front would fit the US 128. It means you wouldn't have to terminate the fog lights on the 128.

I have no idea wether or not it would fit, but that'd be nice! That'll definatly make you stand out from any 128i or 135i

I think it would fit, I'm busy looking into getting the BMW Performance bumper for my car. And there is a M bumper for the 128i that has fog lights, same as the 135i but with the fogs.

But if you still want it you can have mine when I change it :thumbup: have no idea when that is gonna be though...

I Believe that the blue 1-series listed above has a pre-facelift M-package.


I have a Euro M-package, and it looks a lot better

The blue one pictured above is the hatch, can be pre-facelift or post because the front bumper didn't change (Thats concerning the M package, the standard bumper did change)... The one in your picture Stratos is the M Bumper for the coupe, with the fog lights (which is excluded on the 135i) and is not an option for the hatch.

As others say, you can just buy an M bumper for the coupe, or an 135 bumper. Its the same bumper, but you can keep the foglights on the 128I.
In my eyes the hatch bumper is ugly compared to the coupe...

At first I wanted to have that hatch front bumper too. I knew it didn't fit but I liked the look better. But now I think the M-bumper on the hatch is best for the hatch and the M-bumper for the coupe is best for the coupe.

I still do like the hatch M-pack. Some pics to illustrate:

Its taking a corner at high speeds, that side is compressed and the other side would look like a 4x4. I'm not sure what the smilie is for but I've always wanted to use it ; )

AndyM or Dan should put together a conversion kit to put those fogs in the US Oners.

Couldn't you just order the plastic parts + the fogs and replace them? The bumper is identical in shape I think, or isn't it? Then the only problem is attaching them to a switch or getting the OEM lights switch installed...

True, that fits the 128i! It's the AC Schnitzer front add on... Think it looks really good!

I'll put the pics up here:
