Hey guys, so I just bought an E90 that I am going to use as a daily driver. I want it to look a little better!

My question is: do they make some kind of grille for the non m-sport bumper, for the fog lights, that aren't like the oem ones? I don't totally hate the stock bumper but I do totally hate those ugly fog light grilles. I'd like something like the photo without a background for the bumper pictured in the photo with the gray car.

Also, does anyone have any aftermarket headlights recommendations?


Any help would be appreciated!


Edit: I know retrofitting a bumper would solve my issue but... I just bought the vehicle and already spent money on wheels, tires, suspension, screen for top of the dash (non i-drive) a bunch of maintenance... Spending money on a bumper isn't something I'm too keen on doing right now, specially considering I kinda like the look of my current bumper. Anyways, thanks for reading, everyone!

There is not.
You can buy some steel mesh and delete the OEM grill and light entirely, but looks tacky imo.
Next step is to buy some corner splitters for your bumper. It will make it look a lot better.

Bummer. But thanks for letting me know!

And something like this?

I bought those on ebay. In your opinion, are there any nicer ones?


Thanks!

Those are for lci. They sell pre lci ones.

There is entire lips but I am not a fan and they look bulky.
Those corner splitters are the best for standard oem bumpers.

Wow I like the look of the pre-lci better. They look OEM and don't go so low like the ones for the lci models. Mine is the LCI model though.

I was thinking to add a small splitter in the middle to tie it all together but I'm not sure how that's going to look. I'll play around with it

The first owner of my E92 installed an Aero Lip and it’s an improvement. I do hope to upgrade to an M Sport bumper but I’m good for the time being.
