I look at it in the way that if it's meant to be, I will find a set...and if not, then I have plenty of other things I can be doing with the car!

Either way, goddamn that's a good looking 1er. Considered wrapping mine in Nardo in the future, kind of thought it wouldn't fit the body style. But this is making me rethink that. |

It took some work, but I may have just got the last set that will be seen in a long time! They arrived about 20 minutes ago in all their glory complete with all the hardware. I hadn't mentioned anything about it as I didn't want to "jinx" myself. Thanks man! |

No difference in quality that I'm aware of. Material of Construction is slightly different, but at least it isn't Duraflex.
The only other difference I can see is the Reiger piece has that different "slot" looking section behind the opening at the back where the Tii piece is flat. Both look great in my opinion. I just wanted something OEM if I could have gotten it as it's supposed to be a direct bolt on with all the hardware, and wasn't advertised as needing to be "fitted" before installing them. Plus the OEM skirts I got was a little cheaper as well. But if I hadn't scored them, I was definitely going with Reiger. |

what's wrong with Duraflex if you don't mind me asking also are the OEM ones from Turner still avail or is that a NLA part that they haven't updated?

Hey Rmtt did you ever try HPF, the link I sent you via DM? I didn't want to post the link in case they were the last ones, I know you were looking HARD for them so didn't want anyone else to snatch 'em from you if they did have anything available:

I do have a set now. They showed up today. I was afraid to open the box figuring they would be wrong like twice before from various vendors, but they were correct OEM pieces. So I'm very happy and appreciate all of you guys with your tips! |

From what I have read Duraflex is very prone to cracking, and most people who order in this material even have issues with damage during shipping. That is why I try to look at PPE material of construction. Supposed to be the same material as OEM, and they hold up very well. About 95% of most duraflex parts have bad reviews whether it be quality or fitment. Reiger isn't made from that material, so definitely would have been my go to if the ones I got didn't come through. Slight design difference, but still look really nice! |

Here is the only difference I seen that I was trying to describe earlier. It's purely cosmetic. Either one looks great in my opinion. In fact, the Reiger ones pretty much eliminate the " bloated belly" look that the 128i has going on at the bottom. The BMW skirts reduce the look, but it's still slightly there.

One guy I found awhile back had a similar ad, but it was only the passenger side. He had just copied and pasted the info into his ad without looking at the specifics his ad stated!
