E92 LCI Converstion...anyone try it?

The hood, bumper, and headlights would be needed. I'm sure there would be some coding required as well.

Does anyone know what else? Anyone try it?

I think there's been a few people who have done it. Coding would be pretty easy.

It's just a matter of how much it costs. Also keep in mind that the kidneys need to be replaced as well.

Interesting. I hope they find this thread.

And when it comes to costs, the kidneys are probably the least of my worries.

Yep. The hood and bumper aren't that bad - used authentic M Sport LCI bumpers are actually cheaper than used pre-LCI reps. The headlights are what give your wallet a good beating.

Especially mine.
Good thing you're my friend.
I think this is very doable.

I'll post up some decent pictures soon, the only reason why I haven't posted many pictures is because I'm getting the car wrapped so when it's in final stage that's when I want to expose it hahah

Nothing beats OEM, the look of the LCI is so beautiful and it will age well down the road. I'll keep this car and hand it down to my bro when I upgrade to another

Completely understand and agree.

Honestly I love the looks of the E9X. From the rear with LCI tails I think it looks better than the new F3X's, and even newer (a guy in a 535 thought my car was a 13 and it's an 09). But the headlights on the E9X pre lci are the ONLY thing that makes it seem dated IMO.

Looking forward to pics!

Awesome thanks.

So your headlights work 100% without coding? Assuming you get some sort of error code..

not yet i just need to code them, which i haven't had a chance to. i have instruction to code them without getting a new FRM3 module. currently have FRM2 and LCI tails work fine

but will code last since thats a small task compared to what I'm doing currently.

Angel eyes work, but when turning on xenon it starts to flicker & only one side xenon works at the moment.

Both led indicators work. Passenger side is way too bright than the driver side orange led turn signal

Both will be coded accordingly

Will do.

first option is staying with same FRM2 module and coding. If it does not work last option and the most feasible will be replacing the module to FRM3 which 100% will work.

Yeah let's hope that's not necessary.

Also, could you specify the plastic pieces that were needed for the bumper to fit?
