First off I have searched this question(s) and got most of my answers however being that I don't have a 2nd car and I'm going to be disassembling my car I'd like to have all the parts when I tackle this!

So I plan on doing an LCI front end conversion on my '07 e90 335i w/sport package.

Parts I have:
- OEM LCI Hood
- OEM LCI Mtech/Msport front bumper complete w fogs, grids, etc
- OEM Grilles

Parts I think I need but would like confirmation:
- H11 to 9006 fog light harness
- FL Brake Air Duct 51747891379
- FR Brake Air Duct 51747891380
- Adapter Under Hood Shield 51117892935
- L Deflector Lip 51717892697
- R Deflector Lip 51717892698
- L Bottom Cover 51717892801
- R Bottom Cover 51717892802
- Adapter 51758040109






I want the bottom adapters bc I don't want any gaps underneath my bumper. Im skeptical about the "Brake Air Ducts"..... are those needed? Considering I have the SPORT PACKAGE on my preLCI e90 and have air ducts, will mine fit or NOT?
Also are the "Bottom Covers R & L" needed? They look veryyy similar to the ones I currently have.


Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has any of these parts that they want to sell please PM ME.

Ok cool Ill order the bottom covers.

Do the are ducts mount perfect or is there some modding that needs to be done. Thanks a lot!

Anyone know how the e90 preLCI air ducts fit on LCI w msport?

Probably need new headlight units, if you want to do a full LCI

+1 you already have xenons, don't waste a couple thousand on a set of LCI xenon lights imo.

Everything turned out great however it took some trial and error bc some of those parts I listed above are 328i specific and I have a 335i which has an oil cooler thus needed correct air ducts and covers (inside fender covers).

The part numbers I used (which worked perfect for 335i) are:
51747891379 Left Air Duct
51747891384 (can be sustituted for part number 379 but essentially the same)
51747891384 Right Air Duct
51717892803 Left Cover
51717892804 Right Cover

Hood went on simple and overall it was veryyyyyy easy to do the conversion. Now I just need foglight delete grids and Ill be finished.

PM me if you have questions

Sorry guys Ill post pics soon as currently Im in the process of moving. Ill really try to do it this weekend. And Im guessing u were meaning to say "why wasnt I able to reuse my brake ducts as u were able to reuse yours." IDK if you can or cannot reuse the brake ducts however I will say this... the brake/air ducts part numbers I listed are muchhh bigger than the stock preLCI ones. And now my passenger side duct is dual chambered which flows air towards my brakes AND to my oil cooler (actually bolts up to oil cooler perfect)..... Thats a major flaw w the preLCI air ducts bc the oil cooler essentially hides behind the bumper and has no substantial amount of air passing through it.

I will also add for those upgrading the air ducts, I think u could reuse your same inside fender covers however you are going to have to modify/cut bigger holes for the bigger ducts. If you dont feel like modding those covers and want it to fit perfect than I recommend buying the covers I posted above as they fit perfect (air duct/cover combo)
