replica 1m front bumper

Hi guys,

I thought about making my front end to look aggressive like the 1M. I just wanted to know if anyone ever tried the replica ones from ebay? Are they any good? If not, is there a good website that sells a good quality one? Also, how hard is the install?

Turner Motorsports has a 1M replica for the 128/135. Does not require retro fitting. I was going to order it myself but I noticed the pictures show it doesn't have a spot for headlight washers and my car does have them.

That's exactly who I bought mine from. It's getting painted right now so I'll let you know about quality and fitment in a few days.

Cool, I hope it looks as good in person!

On that note, ECS Tuning just messaged me today and said they are releasing their own 1M style bumper on May 20th, I may end up buying that one.

Anxious to hear about fitment. Right now I'm leaning towards reiger.

I was thinking about reiger, but it's actually different. The protrusions are more severe and I didn't like it.

Got my bumper back and installed it. The fitment is perfect. Quality of the bumper is perfect. The only thing is, the fog lights are off and the adjustment thing doesn't work. So they're just for cosmetic now. Also, the body shop painted the part that you can see behind the fog lights. It kinda bugs me so I might paint it later after Bimmerfest.

Looks good! I don't know how it would look on my 135i though as I don't have fog lights with the M Sport bumper. I would probably end up just taking those inserts out and leaving it open.

What did you do with the headlight washers?

Looks fantastic by the way.

JW, for us 135ers can you chose to not install the fogs and mesh?

Thanks! I have a 128 so I don't have headlight washers.

The one I got kinda forces you to have fogs.

Haha worth a chuckle. Could I tie the lines off or would I need to code them off or pull the fuse?

posted in another thread but here it is again just for reference
my bodyshop guy drilled the headlight washer holes (he thought it'd be better to do so, and he was right, I need them, sort of)
had mine painted about a month? ago, fitmet is great, no fogs for me since its a 135i

If you don't mind me asking how much would I be looking at roughly if I went this route? Love the way it looks and my stock bumper need to be replaced!
