Shall I buy pre lci or lci m sport bumper?

Hi everyone

I have an e90 pre lci se and I wanted to get the front m sport bumper to give it a more sporty look.

Shall I get the pre lci m sport bumper or the lci one?

I believe with the lci one I will also need to buy a lci bonnet too however can I do it bit by bit? For instance fit the lci bumper and then get the bonnet a few months later? Or shall I just get a pre lci to save the hassle and money ofcourse!

Nah, you can use the LCI bumper, you just have to trim the grilles to fit with the old hood.

You just trim the tops off the LCI grilles and everything fits fine. Alternatively, you can fit the pre-LCI grilles into the LCI bumper. See here.

Definitely a better route than buying the pre-LCI bumper, as now you have the option of upgrading to the LCI hood if you ever want to.
