E90 M-sport Rear bumper straight fitment to SE model?

E90_Pat · 02-22-2016, 08:27 AM

Hi all,

Just about to buy an used E90 m-sport rear bumper for my E90 SE.

And before buying it the seller told me that the brackets and mounts are different on the m-sport to the non-m-sports?

Can anyone help me out or confirm if this is true please?

Thanks
Pat

Pre-LCI has different rear guides than M-sport. LCI is the same as M-sport. The bumper will still mount up fine with the "wrong" rear guides, as they just serve to stabilize the sides of the bumper a bit more and are not critical mounting points.

Thanks for reply! So if i did go and change to an pre-lci msport bumper will it still hold as strong?

Mine has had zero problems without the new rear guides for 5+ years.
