Need to replace whole front of my 2007 e93 with something better

JonEQuest · 07-29-2018, 01:13 AM

I have a 2007 e93 that was wrecked in the front. Bumper cover, grills, hood and 1 fender are bad so I need it all anyway. I want suggestions on what to buy that will look newer and more aggressive than stock. I have to change the whole front cap anyway so hood/bumper/fender compatibility issues is not a big deal for me. I just need advice on what looks good and fits the actual car frame itself well.

LCI MSport front? Stock fender.

I have a request in to a salvage yard with a 2013 M3 to see what they want for the whole front cap. That will solve all any fitment issues. If they want too much I may just get a M1 or M3 replica front cap with one of the quad scoop style hoods. I bought this car as a wreck so I can do whatever I want since I need all the parts anyway.

IMO the best front end for the coupes and verts is the standard sport with the aero lip. Looks so nice and mean compared to the others, even the m sport and LCI models. Just my opinion

I have decided.... and ordered a 1M style front bumper, M3 style fenders, side skirts and rear bumper, and an Aero Function "AF-1" style fiberglass hood. For wheels I am still looking but will probably get something like 19" staggered 8.5 & 9.5 Beyern mesh style silver wheels.

Right now I am still getting it in shape mechanically. I just got a new water pump (mine was leaking and couldn't be JB welded) so I am about to do new coolant with the new radiator support. I also checked/cleaned my plugs, cleaned the VANOS solenoids, flushed and changed the oil.
