2009 335i Coupe Bumper issue (front and back!)

So in the past week, my front and rear bumper have both been dented while it's been parked outside the office (I should have carried on pulling in head first after the first one).

Anyway, so both bumpers and a rear tail light apparently have to be replaced. I'm loathe to replace like for like so is there any way of upgrading to the new LCI bumpers? Will they bolt straight on and is it worth it? Is there an M Sport kit for this car?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, perhaps I could have figured this one out by myself. But mainly I'd like to know if the M-Sport later bumper will bolt on or if I have to get the eBay Taiwan versions.

You can't get the lci front bumper. It has different shapes for the front kidney grilles and headlights.

There is an msport available for the car though. Yours is a pre lci (before the headlight change and such) so you'll need the pre lci Msport kit. The rear lci is the same bumper as well so that doesn't matter.

You can get a replica of these for half the cost of oem. I would recommend JGmods, I have a rear replica msport bumper that fits great!

Yeah, so JGmods appear to be out of stock on it.

DOes anyone have experience with this bumper? http://www.ebay.com/itm/400718805550...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I'm happy to do rear bumper and skirts at the same time - any special recommendations in that regard?
