I apologize if this has already been addressed but I think I searched extensively enough to warrant a post.

I have a 2011 E92 335is and am trying to get an aftermarket hood. Mine was keyed and I figure since I was already planning on replacing it this would be as good a time as any.

Anyway, I am trying to figure out if a hood designed for an earlier model will fit my car.

I looked on RealOEM.com and found the P/N for my hood is 41007263070, and the P/N for a 2008 E92 hood is 41617168514. These are obviously different numbers but I compared my hood with a friends older e92 and they look very similar.

Does anyone know if they are compatible?
If not does anyone even sell hoods for the newer E92s? Everything I've found says it was made for the 2007 cars.

Thanks!

what kind of a key did they use to warrent a hood replacement? you can't repaint the hood?

repaint the hood

Don't know about the fit, sorry.
What makes you want a new hood other than it getting keyed now anyway?

i dont know if the headilghs differ but i'm pretty sure the grills do so the cuts above the grills may not match
