Red E90 | Rear LCI Conversion Complete! | Couple Shots
Hey all,
So last minute I sold my CSL trunk and blacklines to do a LCI rear conversion with Euro taillights! And I'm very happy I did it. Here's a couple shots of the rear. The M Tech rear and M3 spoiler were installed last week. Hope you enjoy! Oh btw what should I do with the front? It's still stock lol. I was thinking of doing a LCI conversion as well but it's pretty costly.. I learned that by doing the rear lol.. Should I get a M3 bumper instead? What do you guys think?

Looking sharp! I have a red e90 also, I just ordered all of the components for a front M3 style lci conversion, and I orded lci rear lights also, but I haven't decided on the rear trunk yet, where did you buy yours, and how much was it, the trunk lid?

Looks good! If you don't go with the LCI front, I say get an Mtech front or performance front.

Thank you! Yeah I was going to get in that CSL GB but the wait is LONG. Instead I found a OEM trunk at a salvage yard in Cali with the help of another forum member. I paid $280 total shipped. It was pretty beat up with a lot of dents. My body shop did a really good job though fixing 90% of it. The only flaw of not buying a new trunk is I have a small gap on the top left side of the trunk. Not noticeable unless you know what you're looking for. Plus I saved $200 overall by going this route. But you would probably pay $200 more for a perfect trunk lol.

good work. you figured out your wiring issue I see. I'm sure all the anguish was worth it now. I would definitely go LCI on the front. If your going to buy a new front bumper anyways just save a little longer and do the hood as well. Down here I can get an aftermarket LCI hood with guaranteed fitment for $340. I have seen the OEM hood for $4xx on the bmw mercedes parts site with free shipping at times too. msport, or better yet performance front.
