Conversion of E90 to M2/M4 front look

Notifyz · 04-14-2019, 10:14 AM

Hello,

I've got quite some questions as of now I am interesting in purchasing custom made M2 bumper for my E90.

I understand that this modification will bring all sorts of costs, however my biggest concerns are these:

1. Upon having M2 style bumper, therefore it will eliminate fog lights.
I believe that will give me an issue with fog lights checker on dashboard?
If that's true, could you possibly tell me the solution to this issue?

2. I'm also interested in purchasing M4 style DTM lights.
Do you have any recommendations about them, would there be also any conflicts?

I really appreciate any help, thank you!

Regarding the bulb-out warning (BOW) from removal of fog lights, this can easily be coded out, so no issues there.

If your question on the headlights is of a similar nature: it should be possible to code out any errors you might get from swapping these in place of the OE lights. If you’re wondering specifically about experiences with those lights, I don’t have anything to offer there. If they’re of decent quality, I do think they look nice.

Good luck!

Hello, thank you for taking time to reply.

Regarding the coding, I have little to no knowledge with coding.
If you would have time to tell me a bit more about coding and the tutorial in-short, that would be appreciated!
Please let me know as I am looking forward to hear from you!

you can also leave the foglight bulbs plugged in, just use a zip tie to keep them tied behind the bumper. There is also a few members on here that can help with the coding for a fee, you would still need to have a cable tho.

Use the search function, there is literally an entire section of this forum dedicated to coding.

Honestly those lights look kinda cheap to me... look into a quality retrofit if you want a performance increase
