As mentioned before. The cars with msport bumpers have different fender liners and different ducts. You may be able to jimmy rig something up or you will have to change liners and ducts.

This thread is pure awesome!!! It fits perfectly. This seller is going to have a lot of customers quite soon. I haven't installed my msport bumper yet. I might sell it and get one of these bumpers....

Changing the liner and ducts isn't a huge deal--those who convert from regular to OEM/rep M-sport bumpers have to deal with it as well, don't let that discourage you.

However, that being said, I think the OEM LCI M-Sport front looks fantastic, and you shouldn't change it!

If it was a replica I would strongly consider selling it but its OEM. Plus my body shop can install without changing ducts.

I have an E90 pre-lci. Anyone know what would be required to make this fit? I know I'd have to replace the hood at a minimum, would I need to replace the fender liners and/or ducts? Trying to do an front end LCI upgrade (minus headlamps) on a budget =)

Thx

bumper should work for both of you guys. myfly. you are bolt on for sure. Not sure about any 335 bits or ducts that might interfere though. You should be able to get by though.

Phazen. People to pre to lci bumper upgrades and don't change anything but the bumper so you should be fine too. you can get the bumper and cut lci grilles or zap strap the inners on your pre lci until you get the hood.

Hey Pimpax, just wondering if you have an update w/ pix on the wrap+install for your bumper -- i'm thinking about jumping on this bumper as well for my LCI E90, but their "sold as-is" claim on the ebay posting is kinda scary...

thanks for taking the leap on this one!

True. You can buy all of the ducts, fender liners etc from Tischer.

Did you have an Mtech bumper to begin with or just stock oem bumper?

Have you officially installed it yet?

Hey everyone,
sorry for not updating you but I havent had the chance to wrap my car just yet, but the person doing the wrap for me said he'd be able to wrap my car without removing my bumper. So I installed and screwed everything in. Basically the bumper fits PERFECTLY. Something I ran into(not really a problem) is since the m3 bumper kind of dips in the middle, I was only able to screw in the left and right side of the underskirt protector thing. The middle doesnt reach because of the dip. Also when I first installed the bumper, it wouldnt fit unless I took off my stock vents, it wasnt a problem for me because I bought the bumper with the vents so it was just a bit of r&r. I thought I'd mention it for those of you who want to buy the bumper with foglights and no vents, it might be a problem for you and you will probably have to take your stock vents off. I dont know if you understand what I'm talking about but I tried my best explaining. LOL. I can take more pics of the bumper, but it pretty much looks just like the ones before except I have grilles and the vents installed this time.

pre and post wrap pics would be great. I'd like to see it all buttoned up. Basically you are talking about the stock brake ducts not fitting. Trimming them would likely work for those who wouldn't want to take them off but the air passages might be blocked by the bumper. Best bet is to buy the one with vents like yours.

this looks like a good buy. Im new to having a bmw and am trying to research bumpers .. For e90 lci non sport package this bumper should be good to go just get it sprayed and put on.. no fender liner modification needed?

nope no modifications, like i stated earlier, the underbody shield doesnt screw in completely (only 4-6 screws) because its too flat for the m3 bumper. And only 2/3 fender liner screws screw in

i had an issue with this on a bumper on my old car, i used a zip tie on the bottom and it held it up no problems, and no one could tell or see it was a zip tie. I have been looking but i cant seem to find this bumper with fog lights like the pre lci bumpers come with that are sold by venders on here
