1M front bumper

iminhell1 · 11-26-2016, 04:44 PM

The vents on the outside edges, can someone post a better pic of them?

I'm wondering if it's just a closed grille or if it's open and if open where does air go?

Maxsensation · 11-26-2016, 08:04 PM

There closed fake grills

markslc1 · 12-11-2016, 04:48 PM

ended up getting this one because it came complete with fogs for the best price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191571139926?ul_noapp=true

ended up accepting a price of $370 shipped and was actually shipped to my house for that price.

test fitting now and it looks like it does not really line up with a 128i splashguard. perhaps it needs 135i splash guards to fit perfectly. No instructions, so I'll be messing with it over the next few days.

Extra parts: a couple of small brackets and some kind of thin strips with double back tape. Any ideas how these are used?

Maxsensation · 12-14-2016, 02:05 AM

Extensions for the lower portion of the splash guard. If you dont want them mail them to me. Ill give u a couple bucks for them

Thanks. I figured out how to use them. Finished product!!!

This is a must upgrade. The car is starting to look like a sportscar now.

Maxsensation · 03-01-2017, 04:21 PM

only certain orders come with those thin strips. its a must have or else water gets into the the fog light area

Engine splash shield,
use the stock 135i one? (looks like the 128i one is different)

And here is what i found for a real 1M:

Mine is a 128 but. Can share that only the side mounting points line up. So I had to drill holes for the center mounting points. No cutting needed.

mark, who did you have paint your new front?

Nobody I would recommend. Only did an ok job from a guy working out of his house. Super cheap but not as good as I would like.

iminhell1 · 03-26-2017, 07:32 PM

Is the center lower grill removable?
Does the tow hook cover come out?

The one i order hasn't showed up yet and I hope it's correct.

Thanks! I ask because I also live in Mill Creek and need some work

Is the issue with orange peel or something else? I don't mind wet sanding and cutting, buffing, polishing if I have to. I'd just prefer not to pay a ton for an Alpine White job that isn't a perfect match anyway.

cslotterback · 04-05-2017, 10:23 AM

has anyone installed and have pictures of the bumper without the fog/center grills?
