Mario K's E90 to E92 Front End Conversion!!! - Page 2 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

SCS15 · 03-18-2013, 09:20 AM

I mean if you really think about it, all you did was swap on a pre-lci e92 front end...its going to look just like an e92 stock front end...if you went with a m-sport or m3 bumper and m3 hood you would be looking 100x more aggressive and probably would like it more.

I have made up my mind, I'm picking up an e90 lci msport front or an e90 performance front bumper. I miss the e90 front too much.

Yes, but I am hesitant about throwing m3 parts on there when its not an m3.

No, it's going back on the car with the e90 front.

Malbolge · 03-18-2013, 11:25 AM

I dunno why the hate on E92 front. It didn't may be look as good because it was black and it was stock.

I think the one painted montego, and with M3 bumper instead of stock (or msport) would make a ton of difference. I'm not a fan of the E90 front as much as everyone else seems to be here.

exactly. lci msport on the e90 is damn near perfect. i think the e92 front end doesnt flow well with the e90 body.

Turb0Surge · 03-18-2013, 02:03 PM

Definitely e90 front looks better in this case. Not hating on the e92, but the front of it doesn't look good on your e90.

It WOULD have looked a lot better with a few mods and maybe slightly wider front fenders, but stock it looked ugly.

I don't think its hate, just personal preference. The e92 headlights are sleek and sexy, the e90 headlights are bulky and fat. But for some reason I just like them more!

Ahhh so tempting. What do you say e90 lci msport front or e90 performance front? I'm going for one.. Its official.

I completely agree man!

J-Spec Dan · 03-18-2013, 04:31 PM

i guess that i'm partial to the E90 front end since i've got one but if you keep the E92 front end, you should get an M-Sport bumper + lip. maybe a more aggressive stance?

either way, props for trying it out man.

I didnt mean you should throw a bunch of m3 parts on there and pose as an m3...i just mean you put a fully stock pre lci e92 front end on...i have that front end presently and dont even like it lol...maybe with more aggressive parts it would look better (even though i still think it looks pretty cool)

Thanks brotha! It's official going back to the e90 front. And yes new wheels this summer 19x11 rears!

lol I hear ya! I am sure it would look so much better painted with an mtech front... but I don't know. I love the e92 front.. but on an e92 I guess.

i can't believe no one asked what it took to get this done. What had to be modified/replaced?

The Maxican · 03-19-2013, 12:47 PM

I dont think it looked great, but at least it was a fun project

Catalina Wine Mixer · 03-19-2013, 09:12 PM

e92 looks good just put a lip on it

-e92 headlights
-e92 hood
-e92 bumper including grills
-e92 fenders

Everything fits without any modification except the fenders. You gotta chop those fuckers up

Where you been Hooy!? lol Thanks a bunch man, but I changed back to the e90 front this morning. The e92 front on my car wasn't doing it for me, felt awkward. But on the bright side I placed an order for an lci performance front bumper today

Any a piece of the vinyl (headlight part) came off during a wash

Still have a couple extra sets from you I'm going to slap on when I get the chance!!
