Nice link thanks!

IMHO, you have to be a real car guy to notice those details. I think the general public will only notice the wheels and LED tailights are different

Nice find!

Sandman99 · 08-11-2008, 12:18 PM

Thanks for the great info...Makes me feel better about my 09' order!!!

Correction: BMW car guy. Even my friends who are really into cars and some of them sell cars don't even really notice.

Yes. If you have any more questions you might want to search the forum or make a post in the cosmetic question, or, feel free to PM me

Wow ancient post.

Crazy to think the differences were thought to be very subtle at first. Now we discriminate so hard between pre-lci and lci that people are willing to drop thousands updating their look.

On another note are the side skirts really different? Never knew that.

No. The 09 lci headlights will NOT fit the pre lci headlights unless you do a hood and front bumper full conversion. Longtran and others have done this. If you search under pre lci to lci conversion you will get some info

Wrong answer. Headlights are the same with Pre-lci and Lci. You don't need to do full front end conversion to fit Lci lights to Pre-lci or vise versa.

Few example

Pre-lci with Lci headlights.

I learn new stuff on this forum daily. I read that the full conversion needed to be done for this. However good find on those pics.
