Hi guys,

I have the opportunity to buy a full LCI M Sport body kit (front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts) but my car is a 2005 E90. Will it fit? I have read that LCI head lights and bonnet are different to my car, but wasn't sure whether this would prevent me fitting the kit?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered before? Couldn't find it when searching..

Most likely no...LCI has new fenders and headlamps.

I think the rear bumper and the side skirts will fit.
the front bumper definitely won't fit. you will need a new hood, new grilles, and possibly new fenders. good luck

I would be interested in the front bumper since it won't fit your car, if your willing to sell get back to me!

[Rob55]

I see you are based in NYC and I'm in Northern Ireland, so prob pass you up on that one lol!

Ok thanks guys, sorry for the noob question, will keep looking for a pre facelift kit

[E92-Lighting]

most likely not

[vfeng]

if you want the front to fit, i think you'd just have to change the hood and grills

+1, the fenders and the shape of the headlights are the same as pre LCI

The m-sport rear bumper and side skirts are exactly the same as the pre-lci only the rear bumper diffuser has a little curve , on the other hand the front bumper cannot fit because the pre-lci has a built in part of the grill in the hood , so u can fit the bumper 100% but the hood will not close! , u need to buy a new hood or try to find a body shop to modify your hood like removing upper hood grills and make a groove instead...Goodluck

sideskirts and rear bumper will fit. they're the same whether lci or pre-lci. difference will be in the rear diffuser, but they're interchangeable nevertheless.

for the front bumper, it will not fit. to get it to fit, you will need the lci hood. the kidney grills will be different as well.

I've done such transformation. any questions? You're welcome)

I'm gonna resurrect this thread as. It's quite relevant.

I have an LCI M sport front bumper that I want to fit to a non LCI e90. Is it not just a case of fitting the non LCI kidney grille into the LCI front bumper so that it takes the chrome lips in the bonnet (hood for the US guys)?

[muffking]

Thanks mate.
Having also seen this bumper removal thread http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426084 I'm gonna test fit the new bumper to my car and see if I need other parts. I'll let you know how I get on.
