Hood, Bumper, Grills, Trunk, Tail Lights, Head Lights. All of it is plug and play.

the tail lights and headlights are plug in play? ive been reading that they are not, they throw up codes of some sort

thanks for the reply

I think the lack of response is due to the fact that not many have tried this!....thats a big commitment...but we would love it if you show us how you proceed....

Check also the conversion to an M series somewhere on the forum....

Ill bet the parts are more plug capable than play capable...I would also bet the codes can be fixed....but its just a guess...


good luck with it!

I did the front end, you will need lci grilles, hood, and front bumper (plus associated lower grilles etc). Sonic tuning I believe has a front end lci conversion "package" if you give them a call they can help you out. If you also want to do headlights (not necessary) there could be a lot of work there depending if you are going from xenon to xenon etc. The rear requires trunk and tails and coding for the tails

whoa! awesome help! i have found the conversion on this site for the trunk. isnt that bad. like tjnitsche said "The rear requires trunk and tails and coding for the tails". that i read up on, thanks!

jp, im definitely going to document this as a diy. was really interested in either the stock 09 front or 09 msport. probably leaning toward the stock front because it looks so damn aggressive and factory spec.

BUT! i have halogen front end. looking at the ebay ones, but JP going from halogen to xenon ahl, any thoughts?

Hi there! I have actually done the whole conversion.

The only thing that gives it away is the mirrors, witch I actually think is much nicer than the LCI ones.

I started with a 2007 M-Sport e90, ended up with a "2007" e90 BMW Performance LCI.

Let me know if you have any questions.

PICS?

I will try to shoot a couple of photos some time during the weekend.
