E92 LCI Headlights on a E9x M3?

SilentAttack · 11-03-2013, 04:41 PM

I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted this? The lights look almost the same so only slight modifications would be required? Maybe it hasnt been done because OSS lights are a fraction of the cost? Just wondering.

While it looks like small differences, the overall package will require a different top portion of the front bumper. The LCI (non-M) headlamps have a downward dip toward the outer portion of the assembly.

Way bigger transformation than meets the eye. Can totally be done but the LCI E92 headlights don't look as aggressive, a little bloated and droopy. I'm glad the M3 retained the original E92 headlights.

I need OSS lights eventually

I just found an example of an E93 with LCI headlights and a matching front bumper.

Personally, I don't like the new shape but still it looks a bit fresher using LED for blinker & AE , and the brow.

Can anyone identify which front bumper this is ?
"M3 look" aftermarket usually still has the fog lights in them..

My guess is this is an E93 328/335i with M3 parts.

That's my guess too.

Otherwise, it's probably a custom bumper. I really don't think the different headlight shape looks right with the M3 bumper.

I don't really care if this is a real M3 or not, or if it's a repaired wrecker for all that matters. But you can check out other photos and info yourself.

top part of the front bumper looks exactly like E92/E93 LCI with the LCI headlight wash units, and the lower part looks exactly like original M3.

Maybe someone has cut the two bumpers up and glued them together, you think ?

with the cost to buy the lci headlights plus the bumper modifications, it makes more sense just to mod your current headlights

Does anyone know who did this conversion or have at least some more images?? I have an e92 LCI too and want to do the same conversion. Would be really great!

also look at the headlight washers… definitely non-M
