Installing BMW M2 Kidney Grilles On A 1 series E88 E87 E82 E81 1M

[@NevadaSky]

Spot on buddy, even two years down the line, I came and used your guide. Completed in 15 minutes thanks to you! 😄

[@matthewcope12]

Don’t try this in cold weather. The plastic bumper won’t move as much as in the vid so you have no rooms to undo the clips. Learnt from experience

[@DMus-qd8gk]

Hey Carl, thank you from Sydney Australia, just got my 17 year old daughter her first car an 07 e87 120i bone stock, I am actually using your vids/vlogs as the inspiration & a reference point for the overhaul Im doing on her car. Angel eyes going in this weekend with much more to follow. Thanks for uploading your progress.

[@CARLISONIT]

D. Mus That’s awesome! No worries 💯

[@johnwick3073]

You the real goat fr. For kind of a rare niche, you really did absolutely everything to a car imaginable. Followed your android heads up unit tutorial too, gave me the confidence to do it myself. Appreciate you bro🐐

[@CARLISONIT]

@@johnwick3073 i appreciate it bro thank you wait till you see the M235i 😁👍🏾💯

[@johnwick3073]

@@CARLISONIT I’m getting ready to replace my headlights and repaint the bumper grilles this weekend. I have the 1m style bumper so we’ll see how it goes !! Need the bumper grills to match my kidney grills and I’ll already have the bumper off to do the headlights

The little things make a big difference dude

[@CARLISONIT]

Honestly they really do

[@4hmed-aa]

Looks great bro. Black alloys would go real nice with the whole look.

[@CARLISONIT]

amxr_ rr Cheers bro! Yeah I feel it defo will 👌🏾

[@wolvoman1]

Should have waited when you removed the first one, then you could have gone in from the side for the other clips

[@CARLISONIT]

Mike P I like your thinking that’s a good idea 👍🏾

[@kailevy7098]

Thanks for the tutorial. This really helped me put mine on. Btw the grill is dope

[@CARLISONIT]

Kai Levy No problem and I couldn’t agree more with you :)

[@shistir419]

thank u man, tat was very helpful

[@chrisnoneofyourbusiness6560]

Great video, really helpful you showed behind the bumper at the clips on the grill so we no what to expect, i seen other video of grill replacement and none showed this. Can you get these grill for the older 1 series before the facelift? many thanks

[@CARLISONIT]

chris noneof your buiness Thank you! What year and model is your 1 series?

[@chrisnoneofyourbusiness6560]

Its a 2006 118d, I like this year for the 1 series as it has the older M47 engine but with the newer 6 speed gearbox, I think this is the only year they did this. I far prefer the looks of yours though.

[@CARLISONIT]

chris noneof your buiness the pretty decent and thank you

[@shlokparekh1028]

Carl I love ur vids ever since i got my e88 I’ve been watching ur videos and want to make my car look like yours so far I got the grilles headlights and red calipers I also have coilovers installed now I just need to get black wheels and the screen inside

[@CARLISONIT]

Awesome! 👍🏾💯

[@skudlugs]

I just broke the verical fins off to get access, 2 were broken so thats why i needed to change grill anyway.

[@Lilmonkmonk]

Great vid. This looks boss, i have the grills you previously had and im torn between them and the new ones you put on. Mine is black e87 5 door m sport. Think i should do it bro?

[@CARLISONIT]

T C yeah go for it bro, the car will look more aggressive, if that’s the style you’re after 💯

[@Lilmonkmonk]

@@CARLISONIT Always aggressive, always peaceful 🤣✊🏼👍 yeah i think the stock looks abit dated now, had the car 3 years so I'm gonna mod it up a bit i think innit.

[@AlE-yo3hq]

Thanks so much. Installed them today. Follow you now👍

[@CARLISONIT]

Alex Mo Nice one 💯

[@smokie8927]

thank you bro

[@tyrond123]

Hey man, Great video, Grills look awesome!! I just had my bonnet wrapped in carbon fibre (got a few stone chips and they were doing my head in!!!) Got a blue 120d coupe....car looks mint..just need the black grills now LOL I ordered mine from the link you posted. thanks again for the tip

[@CARLISONIT]

tyrond123 Thanks man! That sounds pretty neat stone chips are the worst things ever, nice one man they’re good cars and fuel efficient the black grills will set the car off nicely and no problem.

[@tyrond123]

hey man, my grills arrived today, one of the tabs was missing, snapped off. messaged seller via ebay, to request a replacement. waiting to hear. :(

[@CARLISONIT]

tyrond123 ahh no how did it happen? The seller is really good he was helpful to me, hopefully it gets sorted let me know how it goes

[@tyrond123]

Unfortunately it was like that when I unboxed it. Will do, thanks man!!

[@CARLISONIT]

tyrond123 that was unlucky and no problem man

[@mateuszmaciaszek3025]

Thanks!

[@M4rt_FX]

Thanks for the vid. I just switched my immaculate, low kms, manual, Le Mans blue 135i back to original silver grills. To me it looks a lot better, it looks ‘right’ for the car.

[@irishhooligan4768]

great video. thanks fella.

[@supermotomadness]

Great video dude!!. Love it.

[@CARLISONIT]

Thank you! I appreciate it! 💯👍🏾

[@tredfxman]

Neat video bro! It looks quite agressive with the black grille! Though i do like the standard as well. I will have to buy a new grille for the Clubsport if im going to change from Halogen to Bi-Xenon light sets... Thinking on doing it after the warranty goes out though. I really want the bi-xenons coz they add that Red stripe followingvthrough from gti grille then goes straight through the headlamp covers which looks so cool on the GTI's u know :)

[@CARLISONIT]

3DFX Cheers bro! Yeah it definitely made it look more aggressive and me too I like the standard one but i’m going for a blacked out look on this. Yeah that would be cool getting the bi xenons those red accents really do set off the gti especially for the clubsport

[@MisterKoln]

15 minutes, thank you

Good vid mate. If I was u, I’d replace the bmw badges with the black and white ones. I’d also wrap the lights in fly eye or light smoke tint.

[@CARLISONIT]

Oh don’t worry about that mate, I’m gonna do the badge in black and red to match the theme soon and also i’ve got a plan for some angel eyes I’m gonna try and install myself. Also i’ll be tinting the rear lights and maybe the headlights 😄

Will all the mods you've done to your 1 series work for the 2009 e87 msport?

[@CARLISONIT]

Ranik Rahman It depends on the mods which ones are you looking to do? Because not all will work for it due to the bodyshape

[@SSP.L]

That such a better look will they fit the non m sport coupe same shape as yours but the non my sport bumper

[@CARLISONIT]

Yeah it depends what year is yours?
