Another place to consider Is ppcgb

Bought mine from them and again fit very well.. not 100% but like gaza01 has said no worse than anything else. No difference between ppcgb or m style ones.

No replies to Ess...?

Anyone fitted the 1m bumper yet, looking to order one of these up from ebay seller powerzoneukeu in the next couple of days and wondering what fitment is like and what options there are out there for the mesh.

Thanks

A few have been bought and quickly sold on.

Supposedly the fitment is terrible.

But if you know a good bodyshop that has experience with these kind of things, and isn't going to charge you £600+ to paint and fit... then it is worthwhile.

Aff, I went to speak to my preferred bodyshop about this. I absolutely trust them and we had a good chat about it, and he put me right off it. He said that as you could imagine, if it took them longer than planned to adjust it, he'd have to charge more. He gave me an estimate of £300 to paint and fit it with the assumption that it would go straight on, like an OEM one would. Any adjustment required would be on top. But what killed it for me was when he said adjusting the actual car may be required to get it to fit, and I'm not okay with that as one sad day when I part with my car, I'd need to refit the stock bumper and that may no longer be possible. I decided to give it a miss when we got to that point. The M-Sport bumper really does look sweet after all

Achu used the mesh below for his, which I've seen in the flesh and looks spot on:

Let us know how you get on if you go for it!

£300 for a paint and fit on a bumper that would go straight on is fairly steep! On my previous 335D I picked up one of these 'M3 style' bumpers which I trial fitted myself with no fitment issues apart from a slight gap variation under the headlights in comparison to my stock SE bumper. It then only cost me £120 to have it sprayed to a very decent quality. I was hoping this '1M style' bumper would be a similar fit... I am thinking of doing the same on one of these, trial fit before paint and see how it goes... although my research tells me it may not be simple adjustment to get it looking right.

Response: Fitment is really good, you can use old bolts from your bumper to fit it, to hold the bumper to the wheel arches you will need rivets. We reduce the gap between the headlamps and the bumpers so it looks better than the original :-)

I'm not sure how true the sellers claims are....

Well the general consensus is that they do not fit well at all and are off by quite a bit.

But for the money... is it worth a punt?
It is fairly cheap

The seller never replied to the email I sent. Remember the bumper comes without primer, you'll need to factor that in too. The place I go to isn't cheap but they don't cut corners.

Seen this and have this 1m bumper. It's not a straight fit and lot of labour goes into it. Mine is being fitted in a week by mstyle. Good thing is its plastic but you have to buy the mesh and the air ducks separate.

I think you might need a place that WILL cut corners for this bumper to fit!

Ha ha
Sorry couldn't help it

Its made by German company so should be better fitment than others....

The car that is shown in the photo is the same as the one on the advert of the seller in Poland. We've already established that the one from the Polish seller is a nightmare to fit. Could this seller be reselling the Polish bumper? It's a bit suspicious Sam...

German seller has sold few. If you try to track the feedback and send messages to buyers, you may get some feedback on fitment mate.

You are correct that photo is same.

i thought i was the only one who did this

i started to think it was weird but i do it aswell! i click there feedback and see who has purchased and asked about the item (not this item of course)

sometimes the feedback says private listing though
