Hm, interesting. Got them on the E91 w/ adaptive xenons and I don't know... They just illuminate the sides a little bit more. Not really worth it on my opinion, but I guess the E82 is different, then.

My heat remoulded 128i bumper (~3 inch middle drop ~1.5 inch side vent drop) for a more BMW Sport / Performance look, side fin vent painted black, fog light delete + fabricated ducts for brakes and fabricated some new lower grills for the middle and the sides. M3 Carbon Fiber Lip. Going for something different, I like the M Performance bumper but wanted to do my own take 128i stock bumper was I felt a good template... more info in a thread I created, which I'll update w/ some deets.

In case your curious about a before:

Yup. Rep bumper. Not sure if the bumper is not the right shape or the lip, but the fitment is 8ish out if 10. Gaps below the foglight area and not flush fit on the sides.
