Pre-LCI Rear M-Sport Bumper

MiniXP · 06-13-2018, 08:47 AM

I'm looking to replace the rear bumper on my 2008 335i, as someone bumped it in a parking lot and took off.

I like the look of the m-sport rear bumper that has the changeable defuser and am trying to figure out which ones fit my car.

Is there a difference for LCI vs non-LCI?

Are there good quality aftermarket brands? I haven't looked at bumpers since I had my e46, I know there are varying qualities of aftermarket OEM replicas. I'd be looking for a high quality one. Am I better off just going OEM?

It looks like the OEM part number is 51-12-7-906-501, then I'd need to purchase a defuser too. Would I also need different mounts for this one to fit?

As far as i'm aware the Pre LCI M-sport wasnt available in North America but it is the same actual bumper as the LCI version.

The diffuser is interchangeable but the Pre-Lci is a little flatter/less detail.
