What are the bottom dimensions of the bumper compared to that of a real 1M? The 1M is wider than the 135i, so wouldn't the bottom be wider too? If this bumper is made to the dimensions of the 135i instead of the 1M, wouldn't that make fitting a lip made for a 1M impossible?

I would think they would have to make another lip since this bumper is not as wide as the 1M bumper

They should have used the performance bumper to mold the 1m front onto so that way it looks just like the actual 1m bumper, or modify the sides of the oem 1m front to fit onto the non-m fenders.

I havnt looked too hard into it but that seems crazy, imo. Guess if i want one i should get one while im over here instead of waiting till im back stateside. Also curious what the LTBMW one is made of and the pricing specifics. |

cooler, can we get some pics from a little further away. possibly angle shots to see it with the SleK CSL trunk? Curious how the two look together on the 135.
@Ammonia, 450usd? Yeah i guess that leaves about 300ish for shipping. Guess if both of these are made of the same material and the LTBMW stays around 1200 then ill be working towards a kerscher before i leave here. It is really nice to have an option in the states now though. Love the work that companies like SleK and LTBMW and others are doing for the 1ers. |

Sorry no plan to put a lip into the mold. It will allow those that don't want a lip to be able to not have one. Quote:

Fitment is a bit off, but it is a prototype I suppose.
