Hey everyone,

I have done extensive searching on google and the forums. There are many threads on this topic, but they either end abruptly or clash with other threads as far as necessary parts go.

I created this thread to have one final post and I would appreciate all input that is valid. Let's please put a nail in the coffin on this topic and list everything necessary. I don't need links to other threads, I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out and I would like to make this easier for myself and anyone in the future that is looking to do this.

The last thing that anyone would want, is to do this retrofit and get stuck mid-way through because things are missing.

E90

Confirmed necessary:

Hood
Bumper Cover
Fenders
Headlights
51118040551 - Left headlight arm
51118040552 - Right headlight arm
Windshield Washer Reservoir Tank
61668042866 - Filler Pipe for Reservoir
61667467951 - Filler pipe cap
61677123866 - Hose Line
51747900824 - Right air duct

This is where things get murky. What else is needed from this point?

Unconfirmed necessary:

Sideskirts
Radiator support
41317173599 - Side panel bracket front left
41317173600 - Side panel bracket front right
51647900810 - Front Panel (is this radiator support?)
51648040553 - Left lock plate
51648040554 - Right lock plate
07146963081 - Ball pin for hood struts (2)
Hood struts - Are these necessary due to hood weight differences?


Please comment below and add to or help me remove what is or isn't necessary.

Again - E90 model. If there is anything else necessary for E92/E93 - feel free to comment below and specify if there's anything different, for anyone who may be interested.

Thanks everyone!
