For all the people "surprised" about this.... really?
There have been M3 body kits for the 3 series for years now.. I just like the "rear widenings". The 1M bumper always looked "too much" for me. Been having trouble putting down all this power for years now, and that's the only part about the 1M I care about.

You think so? Do you think it might have something to do with pissing off a manufacturer or other companies? I don't know why they wouldn't sell it there. Makes no sense to me.

That's a helluva thought. Convertible faux 1Ms! The dream can become a reality. (If you're into that kind of thing.) .

Pricing
Just got a reply to my email from Prior Design. Told them I live in the US so they gave me pricing in dollars along with the shipping rate...
-$5,999 for the kit without the hood (includes front bumper, rear bumper, rear diffuser, side skirts, front fenders, rear fender flares and mesh grills) -$1,999 for the hood -$180 shipping without hood -$300 shipping with hood $8K for the whole kit and obviously does not include paint or installation Looking at around $10K when it's all set and done?? Too much if you ask me |

That's before you get a set of wheels to fill the fenders and the exhaust. Def not worth it!

I would say it will be well over 10k when all is said and done.
bodykit + prep/paint/labor + wheels that will fill out the fenders + dual exhaust Wish it were just something to widen out the fenders, hate having to have the narrowest wheels of my last 5 vehicles on the 135i. But don't want the look of the 1m or the price it's currently set at. |

I would get just the rear fender widening stuff. Wonder if they're willing to sell that separately...

What is all the fuss about?
Hey guys - another 1M owner here - I agree that most of the hate seems to be coming from the 135i owners... I have no issue at all with this for the following reason:
In the big picture, I see it as this --> you pay $39,150.00 USD for a BASE 135i, pay about the difference (7k) to make the performance up-to-par or better with respect to the 1M ($46,135 USD), then spend another 10k on aesthetics with parts still lacking to match a 1M... if you want to spend the money on the 1-series then power to ya and I'm sure it will look very nice. However I just think that whoever does the above-stated is asking to be frowned upon for those exact reasons of practicality...just wait and buy the "M2" and keep the 135i! If you're paying to make your car look like another model car, I think you bought the wrong car... Sure the 1M was limited so I understand that aspect but that's life - there's always something better coming up...not to mention the "M2"! As a side note - and I know not everyone's reason for this is to one-up a 1M, but for those people...there's also the following to consider... You spend X amount of money to make your 135i a 1M (with a little better performance) but with little to no room for improvement beyond that... a 1M owner with the same mentality as that of the example 135i owner will just spend the same amount of extra money making their 1M even better rendering the 135i's attempt to one-up a 1M pointless. Only two ways I would see this as a logical choice would be: A:If you have a 135i M-Sport (not any lower model of 1-series) because you couldn't get a 1M due to availability and can't get over the fact that you don't have a 1M to the point where it's a noticeable detriment to your life and sanity... or B: If you have both a 1M and a 1-series (any trim/engine/package) with no more ability to buy another 1M due to availability and want to leave your 1M as a garaged collectible for decades to come and instead daily drive a 135i that looks like a 1M - not a lot of people I'd guess. Just my two-cents y'all |
