the cf splitters work with the stock front bumper?

eunosracr · 04-01-2008, 05:52 PM

How do we order parts? Let us know how easy the grill install was. Are the grills all black and matching the shadowline trim? Thanks!

Can't wait to see the photos! Hope they're readily available in Australia real soon.

Cool - I ordered the spoiler/diffuser/mirror covers, and can't decide about the wheel - I'd like to see some videos of it really in action and hear an honest opinion about if it's any good or not before buying.

I look forward to the right-up on installation for the CF parts too - if it's not too difficult I will do it myself rather than paying BMW to do it!

What! Are you kiddin' me. I was hoping to get those. I was thinking they just didn't fit on the 128 bumper.

Where did you find that information? I can't find any evidence that it will not work on the regular 135i bumper. The technical documentation says they ONLY work on E90 and E91 cars so obviously that's not right. The German parts catalog posted on this site only says that it has to have the M aerodynamic package which is stock on the 135.

I tried to install them on my 135i. They are about 3" too wide.

Here are pics of the grilles installed:

Rippy087 · 04-02-2008, 02:46 PM

Looks great, can't wait to see more pics

RoninWheels · 04-02-2008, 02:55 PM

install takes no more than 5-10 mins... here's how:

The circled areas are where the clips are located (7 total)
-first using a "L shaped" pick, unclip the 2 bottom clips that are visible
-then gently pull the grille partially out, the 2 side clips will then unclip themselves(do not pull too hard as the top 3 clips are still locked)

The 4 torx screws(circled) need to be removed(forgot the size.... sorry)
-then gently lift the top part of the bumper... this will allow you to see the remaining 3 clips.
-next use the same pick to unclip the 3 remaining and the grille will come out.
-then take pics and post them:thumbup: on 1addicts.com

WOW how'd you manage to snag a pair? BMW keeps telling me they are on parts hold.

You can have the set I have :wink:

beeme · 04-02-2008, 05:25 PM

the grilles look great. it looks mean

edit: by the way, the 135 bumper looks way better than the aero IMHO

rocketpop · 04-02-2008, 06:37 PM

well crap, I guess that saved me some money since the front splitters do not if the stock bumper.

Bizall · 04-02-2008, 06:50 PM

Anyway you can get some day time pictures of the grills?
