Very soon, final work being done this week

will have pics up over the weekend hopefully.
The LCI headlights need the FRM3 there is no way around it unfortunately.
Just to make sure it is the indicators that you are talking about and not the 3 amber LEDs on the side, if them then they need to run extra wiring which I haven't experimented with yet.

GOWRIN · 01-15-2015, 08:39 AM

Finally I have the M Sport LCI Conversion complete

and the car is back with a number of other changes over the year which I have not come around to update on here yet.

Have some before and after pics below

Mods Done:
LCI M Sport Front (Bumper, Bonnet, Head Lights)
Fog Delete (Using LCI 335is Scoops and Grilles)
LCI M Sport Rear (Bumper, LCI Rears) Gloss Black Diffuser
Gloss Black Font Grilles and Window Trim
M3 Side Skirts
High Kick Spoiler

Still to do is the FRM3 coding, hopefully this weekend

And interior upgrades to follow, just to freshen things up on the inside

massive improvement. glad you got it done. cant wait to see those amber blinkers in action!

AzRiz · 01-15-2015, 08:45 AM

That looks great man, well done for getting it done!

AlanYoro35i · 01-15-2015, 08:58 AM

so how much did al that cost you? did you save alot going this route instead of spending the extra money on a lci car?

D5TMW · 01-15-2015, 09:07 AM

looks great, did you get the (335is) fog deletes from the dealers or somewhere else. It's something i've wanted to do for a while?!

How much did they cost if you dont mind me asking.

Greg330 · 01-15-2015, 10:09 AM

Looks great!

It defo has cost me less than an LCI car, and just a tad over a Pre LCI M Sport. So it was worth it for me

Yeah I got them from the dealers with 15% disc. so works out roughly £130 for the covers, holders and ducts.

Massive improvement. Great upgrade and well done for going for it. Like the fog deletes with ducts.

How much did the black window trim cost (if it's genuine trim) as I'm still debating to leave mine silver at the mo?

Thanks mate, really do love how it turned out

I just had them painted gloss black when the rest of the paint work was done.
It will look way better without the chrome, even getting it wrapped will look good, I think it's about £80.

Yeah agreed really.

I had the oe shadow trim fitted to my 328Ci SE back in the day when went full sport kit etc. Just thinking it doesn't look too bad against the silver paint work and with the 313's.

Will see.

Yeah it will be worth it. You don't see how much a difference it makes until you do it. Now I'm like how did I put up with the chrome all over the car!

GOWRIN · 01-17-2015, 06:45 AM

A little update after the headlight were coded. Now the angel eyes work and no more blinking/flickering

Yeah have done it previously but then the car was blue so did look better. Will find out the costs and probably add it to the list lol.

So I had changed my seats to M Sport a while back but nothing much with the interior since then.

To go with my conversion a few more interior changes.

As nice as the piano black trim is, it just scratched and smudged way too easily, needed constant cleaning and making sure no one scratched it!!!!! So wrapped the interior trim all in carbon fibre

done it myself and would say I'm about 90% happy with it

Also got an M Sport steering wheel (also carbon fibre wrapped) and M Sport Gear.
Changed the Start/Stop Button to an LCI one to go with the LCI exterior update

Brian mc21 · 02-05-2015, 02:47 PM

Did you have to use LCI scoops on the front bumperfor the brakes and if so did you get them with the bumper or did you have to buy them. If not anyone know how much the brake scoops are for an lci.

'V' · 02-05-2015, 03:40 PM

Looks good and tastefully done.
Don't supoose you wanna sell the pre-lci start button?

achu · 02-06-2015, 05:51 AM

Yeah LCI Scoops, bought them separately from BMW, they're about £20 each.
