In looking closer I've noticed a few design "flaws" here.. Although they've altered the lines to make them curve down they don't follow the curve of the lights (look at real 1M or even the End.cc on previous page) and that same seam appears to go in a straight line across the front of the bumper rather than curve around it.. Again look at real bumper or end.cc that said it still looks fantastic but I just wanted to point those things out before full production started

Something you also have to consider, one of the reasons why the curved crease under the headlights don't match the crease on the real 1M is because the front bumper on a real 1M is wider than the bumper on a 135i, being that the 1M is wider than a 135i. And being that they used a real 1M bumper combined with a real 135i bumper to make this, there are going to be little differences to make them work together. |

Hmm that makes sense but look at the end.cc bumper.. Also if you look at the space between the air duct and the seam under the light it's narrower than the 1M and the end.cc.. Again im just helping troubleshoot.. Either way I love the look..

Still doesnt look right, it seems like they just took the existing bumper and created a curve at the end of it. Just look at the picture side by side with the 135 bumper.
OEM 1m bumper in black Performance bumper in black It's clear that the 1m bumper and the performance bumper share the same curve under the headlights. Yes, your bumper has that infamous curve now but, it still doesnt look like the 1m bumper. Edit: again, sorry for the different sized pictures, I'm just using my phone again. Btw, the headlights on that regular 135 looks sick!

Yeah the curve comes down a bit too far but like I said it does look good. I don't know how difficult it is to sort out the curve situation to more replicate the 1M and performance bumpers cause I do think they look a bit better. Keep us posted with updates and eta's on completion.
Great work so far!! |

As I have stated LTBMW decided to make their curve different from the 1M bumper curve and the other companies to differentiate their bumpers. They made the previous version before and then saw that adding a curve will make it look better which it does so they added a slightly different curve to it. The bumper will not be remade to look like everyone else's 1M bumper. |

I like that it isn't an exact replica. I guess my Kerscher front lip will be going up FS in the market once this is available.

This bumper is just going go look like a replica and a replica only. Of course its not going to look exactly like the OEM 1m bumper because its not going to be wide, but at least make it as close as possible. And from the look of this bumper its one step closer but still not close enough.
