Front splitter 2012 128i

cmcdonald · 12-22-2013, 11:10 AM

I know that front splitters have been discussed for the 128i in a lot of depth, and there don't seem to be any good options. However, the front bumper on the 2012 seems to be a lot different in shape than the 08-11 128s. To me it more closely resembles the contour of the 135 bumper on the bottom. Has anybody with a 2012 128 tried to fit a 135 splitter on the front yet, and if so, how did it turn out?

if you have m sport all the bumpers are the same, with the exception of fog lights on anything that isn't 135i, other than that the bumper shape is the same.
looks like you dont have m sport, so im not sure you have any splitter options at all

Kercher 135i front splitte looks good on BMP perf bumper, I think it will flow well with 2012+ 128i LCI

Thanks for the input. The Kerscher splitter is definitely nice looking. You are right it may flow pretty well with my bumper. Kinda pricey to risk it but I guess somebody has to be first. I guess I will add it to my very long to do list.
