Best front bumpers for E90

[Sankekur]

That is the e90 LCI (facelift) if I am not mistaken, which has a new front end (among others) that includes new lights, bumper and bonnet.

 

[moranor@axis]

surely you can get some splitters to fit your bumper? seems like thats what you are after?

 

[Olorin]

Well it's an LCI performance splitter. The guy has GP thunder 7500 k lights and black out grills according to the thread. I'm not sure about the facelift or not. I'm not sure if I can fit the improved bonnet on my car or not. But those performance splitters, I'm sure I can get those. Will need to do a bit of investigating...

Well, Olorin, I also had the std bumpers, also scouted around like you. And in the end I got myself a set of Mtech bumpers

Think they look the bomb on the E90

 

[Olorin]

How much did it cost you in total (inc paint and install) ? Thanks.

 

[menno11]

It cost me R5, 500 in total. I installed the bumpers myself.

 

[Olorin]

Where did you buy the bumper from ? Thanks.

 

[Rennzport]

the m3 bumper is definitely not oem.. Thats why i said he must have modified a vrs lip or replica thereof to fit.. And that is the reason its painted and not left as cf.

also, u cant fit lci parts on your bumper

And menno got his used, as i suggested you do.. Search around

---

i think i should start a thread illustrating exactly what goes for what on e90s

 

[Olorin]

Perhaps you are right Revo. I went to the BMW service department because there were a couple of trim issues on my E90 that I wanted fixed. Right next to the service department is the spares depart. I asked about the Msport kit, again, this time the guy said that the front bumper would cost almost R18000, painted and installed and recommended I take the entire kit as it's like an extra few thousand more. That's just insane. :dropjaw:

I think looking for a spare Msport bumper is my priority now. Pity I can't fit the performance splitters to my bumper. I think that would have been awesome.

i have a contact with used bumpers.. Will chk if he has msport for e90.
Dnt rush into anything just 4 the sake of wanting a change.

4got to mention
There are carbon corner splitters from bmw for your car

 

[Olorin]

Thank you very much for going to the trouble ! Much appreciated.

 

[Olorin]

Hey Revo, I also was going to mention that I see there are Pre-LCI performance splitters available that look pretty much the same as the LCI ones !

 

[Rennzport]

the guy doesn't have any mtech bumpers, but if he gets, will let me know

if I get some time this weekend, I'll post a thread with the different options for e90

 

[Olorin]

Thank again for your help. I appreciate it.

Sorry to hassle, but are the pre lci splitters commonly available and are they pricey ?

revo is there any chance that this contact might have an m-tech II front bumper for the e46?
Sorry for the thread hijack.

 

[Rennzport]

will check

 

[Sankekur]

will check

Thanks man

 

[menno11]

Yeah, I got my 2 bumpers off silver e90s that were t-boned (2 separate cars actually). You will see that I custom made the side grills too, because these where broken in the accidents.

@Revo, are there carbon splitters for the Mtech front bumpers?

 

[Olorin]

Revo, can you get the pre-lci performance splitters ? I know this thread was for front bumpers but I saw this pic showing a rear spoiler that I like :

Now can that same spoiler be fitted to a normal E90 like mine ? I'm not a big fan of the widely used E90 rear spoiler I see on the roads, it looks too chunky for my tastes. The M3 boot lip in the pic is much smaller and just looks better to me.
