I3s Conversion
It appears that BMW has made it expensive again to do this conversion. Seems like both fenders due to the flares and bumper and the lights. Has anyone in the process of trying this or have any plans?

I'm just gonna do front LCI bumper. The LCI headlights (S and NonS) have the same P/N and different from pre-LCI but it doesn't mean they have different size in terms of the housing and mounting points compared to pre-LCI so need to find that out. I don't care much about the rear though.

I like the new Face and possibly even the Flares...
Why on earth they put the silver accents on the A-Pillar/Side Header to look like a BOLT still baffles me.. FAIL!! (Dear BMW: The BOLT is following your lead and are 'copying' you.. you have already won.. till that move. Stop it!!) |

EDIT: The fender flares might be stick-on. I will go ahead and purchase one to make sure.

Honest question - wouldn't it be the same price or possibly cheaper to just buy an i3s? The bumper, fender flare, lights, paint, install... 5-6 grand no? And then you won't have the wider tires so that wouldn't look right.
If you bought a new one you'd get everything + the updated battery. |

I don't think you can find one off lease for that low. Might take couple of years at least? i3s still new and off lease would be higher than 20s$. I appreciate the insight though.

Unless you want to go without high-beams you'll need new headlamps.
Pre-LCI - low beam headlamps, high beam in the bumper with turn signal LCI - high and low beam headlamps, turn signal in the bumper. Putting an LCI bumper on a PRE-LCI car means no high beams.
