No, they are completely different. Like trying to put a E90 door on a E92

They will fit, but it's a $7,000 job. You have to splice e92 fenders on the front then change the hood front bumper headlights, and then splice the rear bumper onto your existing bumper. It's a super difficult job. I actually helped a friend do something similar with a slightly different set of e92 bumpers.

The job is very possible, I've seen an e90.2 upgrade kit or something along those lines that member on here hand modified the bumpers to fit an e90, much like the e90 M3. Even if one has never heard of that kit, I can still say that it's very possible with other methods.

However, you're looking at thousands upon thousands for a job like this. It depends on how dedicated you are to it, and only you can decide that. You might want to wait a few weeks too because since it's a huge investment on your part, you might get over the whole idea all together like I have with my interior modding that never happened - I saved myself thousands!!

Anyway, now that I'm done being your mother - yes it can be done. If you do decide to take it on, you know the drill... pics.

For all of that, I probably would just get an M3 bumper and save the money.

^ I hope you meant a M3-style bumper, not an actual M3 bumper.

Shouldn't an M3 bumper fit on an LCI e90? Past threads I've read only suggest it wont work on pre-LCI.

M3 bumpers are too wide. You need a replica that it made to fit

Gotcha. For some reason I thought they just had a wider rear track.

my 325i did a full m3 conversion! exterior wise i got it all done for about 2k, had the exhaust re-done to have pipes going out like the m3, full straight! that cost about an extra 100, for e92 to e90, i asked my guy and he says its pretty much something no one does! its not worth the money, the full m3 kit is about 1500 and labor and painting should be around 500-700 but then you need wheels and i stuck it with some bbs lmr's so overall, about a 3k job but well worth the money!
