Sideskirt Options

Any other options for sideskirts on the 135i besides the performance and Kerscher ones? I'm not really feeling those and I dont get why we have so few options... Any custom skirts out there?

we dont get many options because there isn't much demand for them.

There are a lot of options... most of them are ugly. Take a look at Schmiedmann if you want to explore some options.

Just checked out Schmiedmann. I see Hartge as well on the site, but that still leaves us with 3 options and all of them are mehhhh. If only...



I GUESS you could "make them fit," but they are $1400 anyway...

I think the tii/BMW performance side skirt is the best looking of the bunch

Little things that are thinking outside of the box are out there if you are willing to commit to them. I know there was a thread about CF trim that go under the sideskirts that a lot of people were interested in. I would make my own if I knew how.

You just gotta work with what we have available. Sure, its not the best, but the 1 Series isn't as popular as the 3 Series.

Rieger has new products i believe. They look alot like Hamann with a BMP mix

If u wanna go wild, look up e87 Msport/ 130i side skirts and think about converting them to e82 spec. It will be hard but the result is unique

I wish there was a simple carbon fiber splitter for the side skirts, I think it would look fantastic with the oem or performance skirts

Jimmy from Low Pro Aero told me they are going to produce a CF version and a FRP version. Im particularly interested in the CF version.

Hopefully we can have some photos and finally have some sideskirts available for the 1ers (other than BMWP and tacky german tuner ones)

Wow! Since it's not a saturated market for the side skirts this will definitely gain interest bc of limited options. Lets hope they look nice!
