Pre LCI m tech vs m3 rep

Lolitskasey · 01-02-2012, 10:58 PM

I am about to get a new front bumper and I am not sure what one to get. I have a pre LCI e90 and I wanted to get some side by side pictures of m tech and m3. Or any suggestions, I am leaning toward the m3 cause m tech looks kinda weird on pre LCI from what pictures I see on google search.

thats what i thought too... but i ended up going with the pre lci mtech front... honestly i like it better than the m3 rep. That bumper is too aggressive imo. if you want do a full lci mtech front upgrade (grills hood and bumper) that looks sick!

mtech + lip > m3 rep

mtech for sure. I'm not a fan of the M3 rep bumpers

M3 rep all the way with the lip.
I had the same doubts but Im happy that I went with the M3.
I like the mtech also, but I think the M3 makes a bigger change on the car.

Is that the modmy3 lip? I want it so bad, but I think I'd destroy it on a parking block

I wish I had seen the modmy3 before I got this from JL-Motoring, but yes it looks really good. Im afraid of destroying it as well. Just getting out of my driveway scares me.

Ah, I just lowered my car by about 2 inches so now i'm super paranoid.

The m3 front with a lip looks sick comparing to the mtec imo.
