E90-M Aero rear bumper and stock sills and front

I'd like to replace the rear bumper cover of my 06 330i with the M Aero rear bumper cover, but I'm not so crazy about the M Aero front bumper. The "yoke" is too pronounced for my tastes, reminds me too much of the exterior feature I disliked the most of my previous A3. On a AW car w/ carbon splitters it brings out that they may have been going for a F1 car look with the M Aero front bumper.

So If I'm not going to do the front bumper what's the point of the side sills. Has anyone done just the rear, does it fit in to the cars overall profile or is it a visual must to continue the theme to the sides?

Also is there such a thing as a E90 M3 front bumper cover for pre-LCI cars with headlight washers (HWS)?

Thanks,
Fabian

Yes. There is a M3 Style front bumper available for the E90.

Cal I took a look at your online store. On the PO-E90M3KIT listing, I don't see an option for cold weather package headlight washers-HWS.

Also are the side sills each or for two?

@Brey335, there is a listing for [E90M3RRBUMP335] w/o PDC.

Hey Fabian,

Unfortunately they do not come with precut holes for the HWS but a bodyshop should be able to fabricate some with little trouble.

And the price listed for the side skirts are for the pair.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

How low does the front bumper goes in comparison with an OEM one? Askin' it cause' I actually like OEM sideskirts and rear bumper more then M3 styled ones so I intended to keep em' and purchase just the front bumper... + Maybe you guys can recommend me some sort of lip or smth to make rear bumper look a bit more sporty but still be as strict as OEM one?

follow-up-M Aero-painted inserts

Follow up to my post. I ended up doing just the M Aero rear bumper cover and had the two gray plastic inserts painted to match in BSM. I liked how the unpainted contrasted with TiAg and light colored cars, just didn't look right to me with BSM. A few low-res snapshots attached.

^ go with a cf diffuser, I think it looks much better than having the unpainted gray diffuser
