Adding M Bumper to non M car

I have the standard 1 series coupe, unfortunately without the M body kit.. I love the design of my car though have always said I'd like the M style front bumper.

What are your thoughts on putting a M part on a non-M car? ...acceptable or not?

I think it would defiantly look a lot better, but wondering if it would be 'looked down upon'

I think it's totally fine. It's only bad of youre putting ///M badges along with it. It's still just adding the msport option to your car after purchase.

Do it! Why not? BMW sells plenty of non M cars with M-look.

Are you talking about the Perfomance bumper or the 1M bumper? The 1M part won't fit because the front fenders are wider than our models.

I'm trying to do the same on my 120i coupe, in case you find a place to buy front and rear bumpers, as well as the rear deck bumper, let me know please.

I've been looking around and came across this site... looks ideal.. http://www.mstyle.co.uk/acatalog/BMW...r_Styling.html

Seems pretty good and they're not too far away from me for a change!
Anyone used them before?
