Best brand of aftermarket Bumper for 128i
So since I was able to finally get my hands on a set of the Performance Side Skirts, I'm looking at bumper options. I know I will get a rear 135i style with a lower valance.
Front bumper I'm looking at 1M or M-Tech or M-Sport if that's what it's called. Also been looking at the Rieger Front Bumpre that's sold without PDC and Headlight Washers. The thing I like about it is it's a completely different look from all the others. A nice change, but not hugely overstated. But I can't find any reviews for what people thought about it. Who in your opinions make the best direct fit ones with little or no modification? Car is an Alpine White 2011 128i with fog-lamps, no headlight washers. I've seen plenty listed on the auction site that state OEM fitment. Plan is to install everything myself, and then have the car painted so they can blend as needed. So as close to direct bolt-on is desired. Thanks!

I did see the Performance Aero bumper kit that was an option for this car with the side-skirts that I have. That one looks really good, but I bet it would be as hard to find as the sideskirts!

Just stay away from FRP or Fiberglass products as they are not flexible and prone to cracking. I believe our cars OEM parts are Polypropylene.

I got the tune waiting. I scheduled the 2nd week of October off of work tio do the milvs, tune, oil change, and coolant flush. I needed to burn up some time, plus hoping it's a little cooler weather to work in.

Nothing yet. Most of my posts have been in Off Topic.
But my dad got sick, and I spent the about 6 weeks with him in the hospital and rehab. He's now on dialysis 3X a week. My mom is disabled, so I have been basically helping them as much as I can such as grocery shopping, etc. And now with this Virus, I can't have either of them out of their house as they have various health issues. So no time for any mods lately. I still have those side-skirts waiting for me to get a front and rear bumper so I can paint everything at once. You doing okay? I've been keeping up with some of the stuff you are doing.
