E91 M Sport/M Tech Front and Rear Bumpers

mlee4984 · 12-17-2018, 12:02 PM

Hi All,

New to the E91 scene. I've done a search but not too many definitive answers out there, but here's my question.

I've got a e91, LCI, base. I'd like to convert it to the M Sport/M Tech front and rear bumpers. What are my options for OEM or after market? What brands, if aftermarket do you recommend for best fitment?

I found OEM replacement thru ECS but it's a bit pricing in my opinion, and it doesn't show any aftermarket ones like they have for the front.

Front OEM set up, aftermarket looks like a scratch/dent item as well, opinions?

I'd check out Mod Bargains and Umnitza for their offerings. I've bought a prepainted ZHP bumper from them in the past and found their Customer Service rather snarky.

I just looked into it, still no clarity if I can use the E90 bumper on the E91, anyone know?

Same question I have ^^ Do you have PDC on your E91?

6ixSpd · 12-18-2018, 02:14 PM

Front bumper is the same as E90. Unsure about the rear.

I purchased my kit from david@ikonmotorsports.com. They had the best pricing by far, and it's from the exact same aftermarket supplier as all the main replica offerings (ECS, Mod Bargains, etc). Perfect fitment, too.

You will need new fender liners and brake ducts, or you can modify your existing fender liners (just need to drill a new hole for the new duct mounting, you'll see when you compare them).

There is no rear aftermarket mtech for the e91 wagons.

If you want that rear bumper you'd have to go OEM like your link.

You can technically fab the e90 lower half with the e91 upper half of the rear bumper, but the labor for that custom job would probably be more than buying the correct OEM one.

Nope? LOL! I'm referring to the rear bumper.

Everyone should know the front bumpers are the same for e90/e91. When people ask they usually ask about the rear, the e91 rear is e91 specific.

Sorry, I was responding NO to having PDC on the rear, or the front. It's a base.

also, the damaged bumper with the lower price looks like a really good deal if its oem but it appears to be prelci from the pic. Just in case you didn't notice.

I meant the last link in this post is for a prelci front bumper. I wouldn't suggest buying it.

Ali-E90 · 12-26-2018, 12:52 AM

Also, in case you're not aware...

Rear bumper is E91 specific, but the diffuser should be the same as e90. In case you start looking for aftermarket diffuser options.

noted, it's getting pricey, might be cheaper to do M3 conversion. haha

renizer · 01-05-2019, 06:31 AM

anyone know if any non-335 m-sport rear bumper (say E91 LCI) could be used for the 335i dual exhaust or is that another specific one?

The M sport bumper is the same, you just need to have the right diffuser.

There are also some decent aftermarket diffusers you could look at for dual/quad exhaust setup.

renizer · 01-07-2019, 06:00 AM

thanks for the feedback, so basically I just get an M-sport Touring rear bumper (LCI different ones I guess!?) and add whatever diffuser (1 2 3 4 pipes

) I want.

mlee4984 · 01-07-2019, 06:38 AM

good info thanks all

There are aftermarket options for the e91 touring, but they are sold in Europe:
