F80 M3 Front Bumper On E9x

thoughts? I think it looks great! I would do this if I needed a new bumper.

Meh, not a big fan of anything other than the MTech/MSport front on these cars.

First pic is a E92

always nice to see an unusual option work out. I've seen this bumper on the e82 and e60 and it was pretty hideous...

agreed. I am warming up to the first photo of the e92 without widebody as well though. Unique doesnt always = good looking but in this case I think it freshens up the e90.

the LCI e90 is basically a modern looking car and with the right cosmetic changes I think it would continue looking fresh for a long time.

I think that it's a bit aggressive for a Non M. I too believe the M Sport is a great look on the E92. The MTechII along with the Style 197's looked great on my E46.

the first pic is on a non widebody e92, you get a good idea there.

it seems to look slightly better on the sedan because of the slanted headlights.

As with any non-M body, a real M bumper will not fit directly on them. Remember, they join with the fenders, and the M fenders are wider by a couple inches - they won't match up.

You need to look for a replica or M-Tech that fits on a regular E9x.

Just wanted to ask if that ecstuning bumper can fit the E90 because when I checked that link it says it only fits e92’s?

I’m trying to source a M3/M4 style bumper for my E90.

An e92 bumper will not work on an e90 (non m3), but check out europeansocietymotorsports on instagram, I believe they do an e90 m4 style bumper!
