would the e92 headlights fit an e90 or would i have to get the m3 sedan headlights for my car?

JamesM3M5 · 10-29-2011, 09:46 PM

No they don't fit. There is a lighting and exterior styling forum here that has more info.

m3 sedan headlights are the same as E92 headlights. wont fit without front end conversion.

Hunter51092 · 10-29-2011, 10:30 PM

Yeah I know you need to change the bumper and hood an maybe fender on side..but I was askin if they are the samething..so I buy e92 headlights with the other exterior parts for the conversion

Yes e90 m3 and e92 m3 headlight is the same, but i think u also need to code it.

i don't think it's as simple as that... when you take off headlight housing, there is also a bracket attached to them that is a 'middle piece' to set it onto the chassis... i think if it was possible to custom make your own bracket along with the body pieces, it may be possible, but i've been told that the bracket on E92 is completely different than E90 because of different bolt/anchor points.

Thanks for replying but I guess I wasn't clear lol..are regular non m3 e92 headlights the same? This is a question to see If I can save money..or if I'm going to have to buy the actual m3 headlights. Thanks

Ohhhh snap..thanks for that..I guess I will have to go consult AA or another BMW shop one of these days on this whole idea

headlights for E92 = E92M = E90M

only way to do it is with a full E90 M3 front conversion.
