Lci? Facelift? Zero aftermarket support?

Swnkgodd · 06-09-2020, 02:07 AM

I really don't know if I should be asking about this here. But I don't care. I need answers.. I have a 2011 BMW 335i e92 LCI Facelift whatever. And I'm having an extremely hard time finding aftermarket support for the body. Right now I'm simply looking for a splitter and thats proving impossible. When I look MY car up, I get cars that have bumpers that don't match my own. I've attached the best pic I could find to show you all what my front end looks like. Does anyone know if this body style has aftermarket support? Am I able to just off the bumper fascia and replace with one of the other 50 something replicas that are out there? Why is there so many different bumper choices? Why does every single 2011 335i lci seem to have drastically different bumpers? I was told that my fenders and headlights won't line up to replica bumpers because the facelift changed them.. is this true? If so, am I just boned? Do I not get to modify cosmetically? I thought I knew a thing or two until I dove down the rabbit hole. And now I just need help. If anyone knows any bumper replicas or even OE bumpers that will fit my fenders and lights let me know. The whole facelift LCI Bull really messes me up.. I just don't get it. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated

Well, I don't know exactly what is out there but it doesn't look like much unless you change the bumper itself as well. Check out doing an msport bumper and that will open up options for front splitters and lips etc.

There's some one on here, I think the name is like vampire335 or somthing. Go to the thread "post a picture you took" or somthing like that. He posted a pic some what recently. He's got a fr9nt lip that looks good on an LCI.

Let's see if this shows up.

There isn't much for the non-msport front bumpers, maybe 1 or 2 lips.

You need an M-sport bumper to find lips for these cars

Exactly! Companies that make such part figured that won’t be any demand for cosmetic upgrades on Non Sport bumpers because if people wanted more aggressive look they won’t be getting a Non Sport bumper in the first place.

Yep ditch the non-M-sport bumper and get an M-sport....that's what i did

You got the most basic bumper for 2 dolr coupe. Buy an after market m sport bumper or m3 bumper first

They are not even that expensive anymore and it will make a huge difference...

Being 100% honest the basic bumper for lci e90 coupe is ugly AF . The sedan basic bumper is 10 times nicer . Not sure why bmw decided to go that route for coupes
