Hood costs Euro1,399 and trunk spolier costs Euro299.

Hopefully Prior can confirm this soon. It would be great if they offered an intro GB price. It's still a lot of money though.

Got the same price from their email so I guess it would be like 6-7k aud painted and install?

If this was even true it would it would be cheaper to sell your 135i at a loss and buy a new 1M. A few years ago I saw A C Schnitzer parts for my Z4. They were side skirts, front spoiler and rear diffuser. Those three parts were about $7,000. Now add the fenders and hood and I believe the total cost would be $15,000 plus you need to paint the parts.
If people are buying this kit I am going to make a 128i to 135i conversion kit and start selling it.

Maybe in the states over here the 1M is around 110k I think

135i starts at like 70k

mmm widebody kit -
wanted to see straight rear shot
- the rear quarter shot is good.
who's gonna be the guinea pig?

-every 1 will can be a 1m now.
hopefully everything from prior checks out - nice option
for the 1er.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get it if your in Germany. It says it's for export only meaning they probably won't offer it there. That's my guess.

First off calm down with the comment of being the same as a 1m if you knew anything about the car it has a lot more to it than just a body kit, dual oil coolers ( the only car!!!! And i say the only n54 ever created with a 850 kw radiator vs every other n54 650 kw radiator) not to mention an m dif vs open even if you upgrade its still not an m diff. Also your forgetting about floating drilled brake rotors with very nice and big m3 brakes, suspension is where the m takes the show and the axle is number one a wider track width. If you look at this picture they either had someone from bmw making this car or it is a 1m sorry this kit does not look real. It looks like a 1m not a 135i with a widebody

That post seems to be as fake as they come those bumpers were taken straight off a 1m if it was a 135i not fabricated from prior designs im pretty sure you will not see them fabricating any bumpers like that only time will tell but plenty of companies release bullshit picture and im calling this one

Nobody will ask if it is a 1M because nobody knows what a 1M even is LMAO

[M///1rider]

And sorry last post notice how they dont show up the air curtains because the car contains 2 oil coolers which means its a 1m total fail by this company

For me, this may be an opportunity. Have been considering a new hood for my 08 135 and wanted the vents & power bulge but hate to have to instal the safety latches needed for a CF hood. If this one is metal might be a good find.

PRIOR DESIGN IS GARBAGE. THEY RECENTLY RIPPED OFF AND BLACKMALED A FORUM MEMBER FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

Search the 3 series forum for prior design. The 3 series guys are well aware of their shady business practices, as seen in the picture of the actual 1m on the above pictures.

+ 1 I think the hoodpins detract from the aesthetics as well. I'd be interested in a metal version as well.

Personally I'm a 1M owner and I don't mind it...to me it's a compliment that others want to make their cars look like mine.

One thing that's certain though, is that it can "look" like a 1M all it wants, but there's more to a 1M than just the way it looks ...therefore still no 1M.

[M///1rider]

Thanks breakpoint i was trying to point that out as well, this is a 1m not a body kit just a bullshit company trying to rip ppl off. You can clearly tell that that is a 1m by a couple of things ( no sunroof, wont show the oil cooler curtains bc their is two oil coolers which is only on the 1m, m3 mirrors when they dont come on there package!!! Some people are just to stupid to realize

Also even if you bought this kit there is no way to buy the headlights that would fit. These headlights are special production to only fit the 1m and you cannot order them from bmw unless its a special order from an autobody. Just to let you know your 135i headlights will not even fit in this kit!!!!!!!! This company is a joke

In the defense of this effort, the company may have designed the front bumper to fit with the stock 135i headlights. So there will definitely be ways to tell a real 1M apart from a fake one if this takes off.

If the company is really that terrible, I don't see this going anywhere...but I say let a few people try and see what comes out of it.

After further inspection, those images ARE from a debadged 1M, so this is starting to look a little shady already.

[-Z-]

so, it will come with an ///M badge too ?! lolz

complete fail, shooting a real M, not a 135...
