LCI hood/front bumper on pre lci E90?

deadlocked · 12-09-2016, 07:35 PM

Will the LCI hood and front bumper fit on my 07 pre lci E90? I'm not looking to change the headlights/fenders. Will it fit? or will it look weird?

E90 yes, and it has been done before. Fenders and headlight shape didnt change.

Will there be any gaps or will it look weird though without the headlights?

The only thing that changed shape for LCI is the hood and bumper, so as long as you change both it will all line up and look OEM.

Only hardcore BMW heads will be able to tell that it looks "weird" because you have pre-LCI lights with an otherwise LCI front end.

I did this conversion with no problem, if you can find a hood that is non-capa made it will be cheaper to get, your local body shop will know what non-capa means
