Terrible news...

JDC NY · 04-19-2012, 04:48 PM

Hey guys,

So I'm a new member of the BMW family and unfortunatly have to share some bad new as my first thread. I picked up my 2009 e90 335i on tuesday and today I got a call telling me that there was a hit and run. After checking out my car I saw that ill need a new bumper, kidney grill, and maybe hood? I don't know if it could be fixed? (Ill attach a picture)

Anyways, when I bought the car I got it with plans to modifing it so now that I might need a whole new front I think this will be a great chance to start. I was thinking of either M-Sport or Performance Aero but I'm still not sure and open to ideas. I would appreciate any suggestion you guys have.

Thanks!

Arkym lip for the E90? Pics?

Well if they are paying: I would contact someone in the UK and import the EU spec M-Sport kit (gets rid of the ugly side markers)

Or if both headlamps are jacked go w/ a Full M3 conversion and have LTBMW do a custom 1M bumper

Go for the M-Sport...

Sad to hear, but luckily you might benefit from it...

Performance front end is pretty rare from what I've seen. I always liked it myself.

That's a LCI M-Sport (with shaved markers to emulate the EU version)

Try AutoCouture or Tischer (sponsor) the lip on the other hand is hard to come by
