Need part recommendations for E90

themyst · 11-15-2010, 11:10 PM

I am looking to get two cosmetic mods for my '09 E90 335i - and since there are SO many options out there, I figure i'd ask here for any advice.

Looking for Shadowline/Blacked out front grills, and cleared or painted front bumper reflectors.

Who has the best of either product?

check out jbspeed.com, jlevisw.com, and **********s.com

those are my standard go-to places online to get mods

The E9x terminology is slightly confusing. Is an 09 335i E90 considered an LCI?

also, looking for gloss black grilles, not these matte black or carbon fiber ones.

i got my gloss black grills from jbspeed.com, pre-LCI

LCI = life cycle impulse...a facelift for a model, if u will

your 2009 would be considered LCI

I got my grilles (pre-LCI) from a member for $80 in great condition, so if you're patient you can save a few $$$. Otherwise I'd go with tischer, who have them (LCI) for sale for $108 shipped on eBay.

I would recommend (coming from owner of a black e90), in addition to the grilles, black finisher rods (front silver horizontal strips on the bottom left and right of your bumper), which are about $15 new (OEM) on tischer (getbmwparts.com). I'd also recommend wrapping your silver window trim in black (bmwshadowline.com), but OEM silver can look good with silver wheels, so that is really your call (OEM black trim replacement is $$$ expensive)

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated. My E90 has the sport package, so it comes with the shadowline window trim I believe. I hate that chrome window trim
