Hi guys

Can someone please advise if it is a simple swap to upgrade E70 bumpers (on a 2007) to a the newer LCI msport bumpers? front / rear? I know the running boards are not compatible with the msport kit, but was wondering if I could get away with just doing the bumpers & maybe wheel arches?

Hi did you get any further with the bumper upgrade as I am looking to do the same on a 2007 e70, I have also looked at the bmw aero kit that is a similar option with front and rear bumper trays.

Thanks

You can and can't
You can't replace just the bumper as the pre lci, has some of the wing as a bumper
So you would have to replace wings and bumper to get the lci look
I think m style did one
But it may have been with a x5m bumper and wings
But I think they are separate too
Match a pre lci and lci up (picture)
I think this is correct
