Everything fits without any modification except the fenders. You gotta chop those fuckers up

Mario -Can you dig into what you had to chop on the fenders to get it to work?

How much different are the e90 vs e92 fenders?

Japsfinest · 03-24-2013, 09:01 PM

Also- I see that you closed the for sale thread... Did you sell just the headlights or everything?

Thanks

The E92 fenders are longer. The e90 fenders have sharper lines. Notice how the upper e90 fender is diagonal while the e92 fender is more curved. We had to cut up a good inch or more off the whole side of the e92 fender lining up with the door, and also a little off the bottom of the fender that lines up with the side skirts.

Thanks

I have sold the headlights and front bumper.

The hood is still available and I will let it go for cheap shipped via greyhound. Will need a repaint.

The fenders are also still available and will also ship via greyhound. But you will need to take them to a body shop to make them look pretty and to line up right.

@mario k -I've seen your car in gilbert rd getting on 202. My e90 headlights are hazed at the top from a bad detailer prev owner. I love the e92 lights. Do you still have these parts, and the body shop hook up?

Vesar · 09-21-2013, 10:54 AM

That's so wrong..

Chris_506 · 09-21-2013, 10:59 AM

whoa, talk about custom. Good job man, looks better and unique.

Thanks man, Ended up switching back to the e90 front a while back though!

Murph335 · 09-24-2013, 12:10 AM

Dealer tech got into an accident with my car today. Thinking options?

BM91 · 10-09-2013, 02:01 AM

I like the concept but perhaps if the car had a m3 bumper rather than a stock e92 bumper it may of looked better.

Agree with this!

DylanPrasad · 04-15-2015, 10:31 PM

I'm doing this for sure. What wiring do I need and what do you mean about headlight brackets?

sirdaft1 · 08-08-2015, 01:10 AM

Curious, has anyone done the reverse? An E92 ---> E90 front end conversion? Similar to this... (Old pic that was photoshopped)

Like a boss!

LiuMike23 · 04-21-2016, 12:32 PM

looking good, I want to do this with my E91 wagon, did you have to do anything to make the headlights to work? like any new wires needed?
thanks

Lol damn that actually doesn't look too bad!! Lol. I'd love to see an lci e92 headlight swap onto a e90! That would be badass

ssshake · 05-13-2016, 10:58 PM

e92 front is so proper, e90 looks like it's ugly brother. Glad they made the 3/4 series split later on.

I think the people who prefer the e90 front are crazy, the e92's lines and flow actually make sense. The e90 headlights, eww. The bumper, nasty. The hood makes me want to punch bmw in the dick.

You wanna tell me this,

is sexier than this?
