Does 135 Front Bumper Fit 128?

Question! There is a DIY for the rear 135 onto a 128 with no modifications or extra parts besides some screws. Is the same true with the front bumper? I feel as if the fog lights are different (round on the 135 - flat on the 128) and that you would need some other things...

The only question is retrofitting the flat fog lights compared to the 135i's round fog lights? And of course if its just the bumper you would need small grilles and screws etc.

Like Simon said, it fits. In europe especially a lot of people upgrade to the M Sport Kit, which includes the M sport front bumper. This is the stock 135i bumper (different from the bumper from the Performance Aero Kit), and fits with no issues, except you might need to switch to the foglights, which shouldn't be hard.

Right. The 135 stock bumper looks mean. It is between that and the Aero bumper as of now. Both would be around the same price (excluding the new fog lamps).

But the Aero I believe gets rid of the lower fog lamps if I am not mistaken.
