pre-LCI to LCI Conversion question
Folks, my body shop is changing hood & bumper and suggested to do LCI instead (2008 e90 sedan) ... question is, would I need new headlights or the pre-LCI ones will fit ? I found conflicting info searching the forum

For the rear, yes, being as the tail lights are what differentiate the LCI from the pre-LCI. But for the front of the car, at lease is the case for me, the hood and front bumper is what differentiate an LCI from pre-LCI (again, at lease to me).

On an e90, is the rear bumper any different from pre-lci to lci?

Nope. The stock grills wont fit the LCI hood and the LCI grills wont fit the preLCI bumper. You can modify the grills but I'm not sure how many people have done that. You can get a hood from rockauto for like $300 and a LCI bumper from ebay again for around $300.
