e92/e93 m sport foglight alternative (PICTURES)

alexgosh · 07-01-2013, 11:49 PM

Hey guys! I made a thread a month or so ago regarding a foglight delete option for either your 335is convertible or just any other m sport coupe/convertible. I just pulled the trigger and bought the same exact intake cooler outlet (I really have no idea what you call them). I wanted to share with everyone the part number for the items you will need. By the way i bought mine on getbmwparts com.

51118050623 RETAINER FRAME, $33.27
51118050624 RETAINER FRAME, $33.27
51118050585 AIR OUTLET COVER $23.78
51118050586 AIR OUTLET COVER $23.78

I bought all four items for around $120 shipped and I got a $10 discount for a 4th of July sale

So this will fit any m-sport bumper pre or post LCI?

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-02-2013, 10:08 AM

This is really cool man! Been contemplating getting my fogs removed in favor of something, err, more functional. I think the PPK stage 2 is the same idea no? (At least on one side).

Post pictures!

I know that it will fit the lci but I do not know forsure if it will fit the pre lci. Did the body change or was it just the light and engine?

AndyR83 · 07-02-2013, 12:19 PM

Wow, I like that a lot more. Any idea if there is a similar option for an m3 rep bumper?

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-02-2013, 02:57 PM

Oh perfect man! Do you have a 2011??

edirtaynine · 07-02-2013, 03:05 PM

Yea pretty cool huh?
Only trouble is they don't look as though they let air through them, though can't really tell from the pics- would be cool if they functioned like air dams.

They do improve air flow. They were designed to cool down the oil and have more air flow. They made these for the coupes because they didn't have enough airflow.

Parts just came in! Installing them tomorrow

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-10-2013, 10:28 PM

Sub'd!

alexgosh · 07-23-2013, 09:14 PM

Ok so I finally got the part installed today and they look great. Sorry for the delay my car was in the shop for quite awhile. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks! IMO it looks so much better than before!

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-24-2013, 02:12 PM

The only thing that would stop me from doing this would probably be resale- the foglights are a paid option, and would be valuable for a private sale (however nominal

)

I wonder, how did you address the fogs and housings/ wiring etc? I am not going to lie, I am VERY TEMPTED to have someone do this for me bro...

I had it done at my uncles body shop but I kept the foglights and all the other housing stuff for when/if I give it back at the end of the lease. He said that it was pretty difficult to do but there a little error in the coding and whenever I start the car a message pops up saying foglight malfunction, but my service advisor said the technician can fix that for me. I would totally recommend you to do this, its a subtle change that not many will notice but when you look at the car from before and after it just makes the car look more sporty for some reason and it looks like it was supposed to have these instead of the fogs.

Really wonder if this would fit a pre-LCI.

rbtamms · 08-14-2013, 06:44 PM

Those are very nice trims, I hope we have that on our E90...
