E90 Pre-Lci 1M Front Bumper
Evening Internet folk,
Firstly, I should rightly say "hello" as this my first post here, I've been lurking for a while and joined recently. Great forum too, ample information available I have an E90 330i M-Sport, LM Blue, 6sp Manual and a rather basic spec. I'm looking to see if anyone has any information and/or experience with a 1M front bumper being installed on said car? The reason being, some #%*$ recently grazed the front offside for me when parked and the existing bumper is going to require minor repairs and a full respray. I had been looking into the 1M bumper previously but couldn't justify it, however since this incident it's a little more feasible. I was going to settle with a splitter but the choice is pretty poor for pre-lci cars. I mainly want to know about quality, fitment, and if other parts (thinking arch liners here) require modification? Ebay have £300 units but I suspect the FG will be horrendously rigid and crack far too easily, and then there is one from MStyle for £450, but then higher prices don't always mean better quality ... Any any advice is much appreciated |

I bought my bumper from Barry Graham (think his company is called BNG) fitment is pretty good for fibreglass but they are pretty fragile, I’ve just split mine again pulling into a garage but I am quite low, standard height cars shouldn’t have a problem at all.

Thank you. Next year I may be a touch lower if I can afford the Birds suspension kit but what you said is a consideration as I have a multi-storey car-park to navigate every day.
Did you install this yourself, and how do the arch liners marry with the new unit? |

Yeah, install is pretty easy, arch liners match up well, mine bing an SE the splash pan underneath dind't marry up to the wholes in the 1m bumper, I think they must of used an M Sport model to get the mold, It still fits but had to just slide the splash pan over the top of the bumper, all in all I am happy with it, its just a bit annoying that the fibreglass cracks quite easy.
If someone would make a more affordable ABS version it would be perfect
