Help Me Choose A Bumper (See Photoshopped Comparison)

rbtamms · 08-19-2014, 03:54 PM

There's a group buy for 1M Bumper for E90 that is going to close soon. But somehow, looking at the 3 comparisons of the bumpers that I photoshopped. I can't decide which bumper to choose. My car is black & I just used a white to car for everyone to see the details of the bumper.

I currently have the M-Tech bumper & I'm debating whether to keep my current bumper or choose between M3 & 1M bumper.

This is my current bumper

I'd keep your bumper and spend the cash on something else. The 1M and M3 bumpers doesn't really flow with the e90 lines, in my opinion. Which I think makes sense, since they were made for different cars. The one you have now looks good. One of the few matte black cars I liked.

I like your current set up but a 1m bumper with the carbon fiber lip would look so awesome. Definitely not the m3 bumper. imo it doesn't look that good on these cars.

Also should ditch the eye brow think it would look cleaner without and/or black out lights with v4 rings. but that's just my 2 cents.

mtech with splitters looks fresh

SMH · 08-19-2014, 11:46 PM

M-Tech IMO. I was thinking of the 1M group buy too, but the M-tech looks great on a LCI E90.

SM335i · 08-20-2014, 01:01 AM

Looks amazing already...

I say keep it . Looks good already . 1m is nice but not worth changing .

lilez19 · 08-20-2014, 11:10 PM

If you decide changing it , I'll buy your current bumper lol
I like the mtech

DC_Oldboy · 08-21-2014, 01:20 AM

As much as I love the 1M bumper. Your setup looks sexy! So stay with it!

I decided to add the brows because when I upgraded my angel eyes to OSS, I didn't like the full circle

So, to make the angel eyes looks more aggressive. I used some leftover vinyl to cover the top part to make it a U-shape instead

I like how the angel eyes look more aggressive with the eyebrow when you can't see it but I don't like the way the eyebrow itself looks on top of the light housing. Other than that its looking mean! Also surprised you didn't go with a blackout scheme when you sent out the lights to oss.

Thanks. This is the second time I put the eyebrows. Back when I still have my halogen headlights, I also didn't like it. But this time with the new headlight setup, I can't think of anything to change the shape of my angel eyes. If my car is not black, I would have choose to blackout my headlights. I wanted to have a little contrast, so I decided to make it look as stock as possible. But my shrouds are blackout.

I'm not an e90 fan at all but your current setup is dead sexy.

If I was switching from that to another it would be M3 rep with the V style lip.
