hey everybody I was wanting to know if you can use e92 front and rear end body work on an e90 ? I don't see it being done but body lines look similar .

thanks

Do you mean the front and rear bumpers? If so, then no it will not work. I do not believe any body work is the same. Not even the grilles.

yeah that's what I was wondering . when looking at the m-sport and m bumpers I like the smoother lines of the e92 rear bumpers . it seems like the distance between the rear wheel well and the taillight might be longer ?

The E92 coupe is wider and lower than the E90 sedan. No I only sell wheels and tires

Actually, the E90 is wider. The E92 is narrower, lower, and also longer.

And that is why I only deal with wheels and tires. Good to know

Thank you for clarifying !

You can swap the front over

How much modification had to be done ?

[IK6SPEED]

a lot, bumper, fenders, hood, grills, headlights, under shield , fender liners, the fenders will need custom work tho, on the coupe it attaches differently at the bottom then on the sedan, and i believe the length is kinda different.
If you search you can find a conversion thread, and the guy was actually selling the whole conversion later.

Why is it impossible? The rear end was actually easier than the front. The shape of the rear and width is similar to each other.

I took this kit


and made this kit

This sounds interesting. I see you have went with air also. I'm waiting my setup. What's your current wheel setup? and more pics of the E90.2.

I am on air, but Im actually on a bagless air system which utilizes high grade aluminum cups that sit over my coilovers. http://www.phantomsuspension.com/ check it out here.
My wheel setup is 19x9+10 19x11+20, I actually want to get new wheels with a less aggressive setup and will probably sell my current wheels soon.

My car is finished, but I have not taken pics of it. You can probably find pics from wekfestSJ. My friend owns a bodyshop where I take my car and work on it myself, it actually takes a lot of work to mold and refinish everything. I did most of the work on my own except for when it came to reshaping and painting.

I haven't heard that system before, so your bags are made from aluminum, but works like those coils with the small bag on them giving some lift when needed?

Nope, no bags at all. So if any of my lines were to fail (none have) my car would still be fully functional on my coilovers whereas if UAS (bags on coils) or any other bag system were to fail, my car would be stranded and laying on the frame of my car on the ground (happened to my friend, pain in the ass to tow)
