Does an LCI E90 M-Sport Front Bumper Exist for Pre-LCI?

Duck360198 · 06-08-2015, 09:32 PM

Hey everyone. I want to dump my OEM Pre-LCI Performance Bumper for an LCI style M-Sport bumper for my E90. If I'm not mistaken, the M-Sport equivalent for the Pre-LCI is the M-Tech bumper, but I'm just not a fan. I want to know if anyone makes an LCI style M-Sport bumper for the Pre-LCI cars. See pic below for the bumper I'm trying to find.

Nope. You'll have to do the LCI conversion with a new hood and grills.

you can fit the pre-lci grills on the lci bumper and it will fit with the pre-lci hood. you can have it like that until you have extra money to buy the lci hood.

I beleive u already have a lci bumper. The Pre lci bumper and grills were diffrent.

Yea need to change to LCI hood and grills to install the LCI bumper.

Headlights and fenders can remain the same.

You can install mtech front without anything else and it will still look/work fine!

LCI bumper with pre-LCI hood and grills look like shit. It looks like you didn't have enough money to do it right and cobbled together the car with what you had.

Yeah, I have to agree with the above post that an LCI bumper with Pre-LCI hood and grilles just won't look right. I've seen it done and it looks very "frankenstein-ish". If I do the M-Sport conversion I'll have to go all teh way through. However, I don't think I need to swap out the lights so that's a plus.

With regard to the bumper mentioned in the post above, that's the M-Tech bumper. It's too straight-lined for me. I need a little bit more aggression.

You can always go with CF splitters on said bumper.
I don't know of anything more aggressive unless you do the the LCI upgrade.
Then you can get M3 replica, etc..

Hey, Duck,

You are right. I did an lci conversion, but kept the pre-lci headlamps because I thought they looked cool. Since I had amber headlamps, I painted the side markers the same color as the fender. I did put blacklines on the rear, though.
