The front end shape reminds me of the F10 in that pic. Even thought the features are actually nothing like it.

That would be awesome!!! In for more info

wildwestm3 · 12-19-2014, 07:52 AM

Photoshop? If not, I'd be interested. That looks pretty damn sweet...agressive!

BimmerRookie · 12-19-2014, 08:02 AM

While I do think this is cool, I think it's also too much. The retrofit 1M bumper is the perfect look (for a retrofit), but I think this looks better on the F8X cars. It gets to boxy and sharp on the front end, whereas our OEM bumpers har more curved and rake-ish

Gr330zhp · 12-19-2014, 08:47 AM

Too much. I'm not a fan, really I don't even like the 1M retrofit either.

Jet335i · 12-19-2014, 08:51 AM

doesn't flow IMO - 1M bumper maybe but not this

STooK · 12-19-2014, 08:52 AM

Doesn't flow at all on a e9x. I get that some people want to be different but I personally love the e9x M bumper the way it is.

And this ^^^

If you want an M4, there are many sitting on dealer lots to choose from.

I concur. I'm not biased.

2k328ci · 12-19-2014, 09:17 AM

That looks much better than I thought it would.

I'd just like front grill inserts that have doubled fins like the newer M4.

V1.47fan · 12-19-2014, 09:27 AM

Now, you just need to draw a fake hood shut line.

steven_s · 12-19-2014, 09:32 AM

Already done by them a few days ago. Check their instagram

tjsabec · 12-19-2014, 10:26 AM

I think the bumpers are the worst aesthetic part about the M4, so I definitely wouldn't be interested in putting one on my e90.

Exactly.

Z K · 12-19-2014, 11:40 AM

The M4 bumper looks good on the M4 because the profile of the car is more square.

Putting the same bumper on the M3, which is more rounded, doesn't match at all.

WickedE93 · 12-19-2014, 12:19 PM

Yeah.. sorry but not liking this at all.

Law · 12-19-2014, 01:32 PM

Photogenic but that's about it.
Too much going on, even with the 1M bumper.

ilikebmxbikes · 12-19-2014, 02:17 PM

Lines are off with the rest of the car. Best keep that bumper on the F8X where it was meant to be. On the F8X the lines are repeated in the side vents and rear bumper, it just flows. Our e9x's are a rounder

Flying Ace · 12-19-2014, 02:21 PM

eehhh.... the design/sight lines wouldn't look right from a 1/4 view and side view. If done properly, you need redesigned fenders, side skirts.

Then the car designer draw up the car, their pencil doesn't stop at the fender, there's a flow to the design from front to the back.

reminds me of civics with some aftermarket bumper and they don't change the side skirts or fenders to match the styling.

NELSON.MLGB · 12-19-2014, 06:57 PM

The car in the picture is actually a 335, I think if it is with the M3 which has wider fender, it would look much better.

BobS · 12-19-2014, 07:06 PM

Reminds me of when people used to put e46 m3 front bumpers on the e36 cars. It just didn't look right. I don't really like the 1M bumper on our car either...
