1m style bumper

[shuey]

Anyone else think this looks bloody good? Anyone have this on an standard e86? Or have any more actual pics fitted?

Not into modifying original style, but this looks so sweet

 

[enzed4]

Nice.... but a little too fussy (with the splitter)?
No fog lights?

 

[jamie_z4]

Think the car would need to be heavily modded to pull it off... stock height or springs and normal wheels it'll looks so out of place.

 

[bz4kev]

Kinda like it :roll:

Someone did do this last year I think

 

[idej_z4]

I have to agree it does look good - a lot of wonga though to get it all done I imagine!

On a side note , really like the mesh grills on your car, are they DIY or a bought item

 

[Silverzedtom]

I like it. I think I like it even more than the m4 bumper conversions that have been done in the past.

Yeh I’m guessing a lot of Bodyshop and tweaking stance has to go in to making it look good.
Wish it was available in thermo plastic instead of shitty fibreglass that rarely fits properly.
Think it looks even better than the z4 m bumper

Here you go... it was LBZ4 that put some serious work into his z4, including m4 bumper.

I think he had to b@stardise it by using the top half of a z4 bumper and bottom half of the m4 bumper. I think he struggled to get a perfect gap where the bumper meets the front wing, so if look into that if you’re going to do some cutting and bonding.

They’re a bought item...I’m going to be selling them around the middle of October so if you’re thinking of doing it on yours you might be able to grab yourself a bargain.

They do always get comments as even at ZedFest I didn’t see anybody else with them. I’m just starting to return mine to stock for a potential future ///M purchase.

Yep - you've got the same on your lower ///M grille. Mine is the Si lower and kidney grilles.

Ah I thought so. I quite like the look of those kidney grilles, first time I've seen them properly on a Zed. I might have to get the calculator out and weigh up my next purchase :wink:

Do they have the silver trim around the edge or are they all black?

Ah k, yeh that looks a bit extreme for my liking. Think I like the 1m style bumper better - feels s’more oem-ish.

Anyway had the bumper not been fibreglass, I think I’d have defo considered installing it. Always that the z4 front bumper looked a litttle too tame

I have one that’s been in my basement for 2 year now and should be getting around to it finally next month if I keep my fingers crossed. Have been doing some major garage repairs so it’s a project that had to sit on the back burner.

I do have some pics of a white e86 that had it on cargurus for sale I should be able to post when I get home.

 

[Piper1]

Of course the sale ended long ago on this but thought it was a worth pic save

 

[Gazza51]

I’d have one if they were a direct bolt on.

 

[GAZA62]

To fussy for me but that's the new look with BMW and a lot of other cars
