Has Anyone Installed a 1M Bumper on Your Car?

Here is the link.

Would be nice to know who makes it and to see a picture of it installed.

who wants to be the guinea pig

for $600, honestly, it's not that bad

someone buy this

[New21er]

At least it's not fiberglass.

An actual 1M bumper? Or a rep? Kerscher makes a pretty good replica, believe Dmacc is running that without problems.

Also check out Venom and Ilikebmxbike's 1M conversion threads, they had the work custom fabbed. Turned out pretty sick.

^ it's a rep.

DTM 1M Front REp!

[StormTrooper]

Lol i totaled my 1 series awhile back and had it rebuilt, no engine damage, but front bumper was dunzo.... Asked my mechanic to order the 1m front bumper in which he was able to but there was too much trimming and what not to do to get a good flush fit so i had it sent back to get the OEM 135 bumper. Should have kept it

[ShocknAwe]

No amount of trimming will fit a OE 1M front bumper cover on a 135i without front fenders and rocker panel work.

That being said, the OP is talking about a replica designed for the 135i (think Kerscher or DTM but in PU instead of FRP etc)

[cheshirecat79]

it looks like that rep is set up for a 128 anyway, there are coolers that would be covered by the fog light assembly

you could always leave that part out, but you're still going to have those clips to deal with

Never mind on my original post. I just read their feedback and their items are not good.

Thank god someone else saw this I was on the same boat thinking to buy one in a month wish I could find a legit one for 500 shipped.. But I'll keep wishing

Asked the vendor if they had any pictures of the bumper installed on a e82. They said "nope, but fitment is close enough". Yeah, I'd say, "RED FLAG"!

So that bumper is out. DTM is even questionable. Ive narrowed it down to Reiger or Kerscher. Reiger seems to have 2 versions of their bumper. I dont like the one with the slats. Reiger is ABS plastic and its cheaper. Anyone know how fitment is with Reiger?

I dont know the fitment on the Reiger but I have seen @Dmacc 's car with the Kerscher and can vouch it is very well done. It looks very good and fitment looks OEM quality on his car.

Here you go:

that's the company everyone is using to grab the Rieger parts. I personally ordered the rear skirt from them and it was a problem-free process.
