Hopefully it'll arrive soon!
Mine took about 6 weeks to get here and the only update I got after it left Germany was about an hour before it was delivered...

I think we did it, Ray's done with hearing about meth. He's probably ordering it as I type.
When you're used to the back end end stepping out when you punch it in 2nd it's hard to go back to map 2 and feel satisfied!

Ray if you're reading this... do it!

Edwin and my lip arrived in Australia on the 12th, maybe you weren't in the same batch?

But once it is in Australia you won't be able to track it anymore you need to call DHL Global and ask for an Australian Post tracking number.

Did you just use screws or did you tape it up as well?

I just used the screws, nuts and washers that it came with. Didn't use tape. No need.

bumper is different between models? :/
looks the same on google images to me, though it's hard to tell - don't they both just have the m-sport bumper? (except the 130i has foggies and it seems the 135 doesn't)

Pretty sure the Kerscher one will still fit the E87. Maybe I will do a mockup on an E87 for you... I have a spare one I'll probably sell.

So if you used the nuts and washers that means you had ot remove some of the parts holding your undertray to the bumper? or did you reach in through the bonnet to screw it on?

Good that yours is on tight... hopefully it stays that way.

Best to ask Kerscher that. I just assume the E87 will have different bumper to the E82 and E88.

You could make it fit if you wanted to...

but on the other hand, Kerscher lists a specific front splitter for the E87 (albeit non CF, must be FG)

i thought that the basic style of the m sport bumper was the same between models/shapes

i know that different BUMPERS and guards fit identically (not sure in side skirts though), but if it's a different bumper.. well yeah it's a different bumper lol.

would definitely be interested in the spare if sellable, between kerscher and hamann it's a tough choice for me :P

i've had lots of trouble asking manufaturers about whether things will fit, they just kinda shrug their shoulders and palm you off haha.

it has different rear bumper, and possibly sideskirts (though i still haven't confirmed this.. anyone care to measure, and i'll measure mine, compare lengths lol)
