I have a 2009 335i e90 LCI (manual, xdrive) that needs a whole front after an accident (not major damage but it needs a whole front bumper assembly)

What are the engine bay differences from a pre and post LCI? I have have found a front from a 2008 to repair the 2009...i know the lights and bumper are different but for example....are the fenders identical? radiator support etc??

I've searched the forum but have mostly found the cosmetic differences but not much info as to the fitment of the parts from a pre and post LCI.

Thanks.

Go to www.realoem.com, go to the specs for the 2008 model, then open another window with the specs for the 2009 model. Look at the parts that you need, compare part numbers. That should get you started in the right direction.

How are the lights different?

The lights are the same basic shape


You can use the parts they are the same (just different shaped front bumper) I have thought about it just to get a lip for my 09
