I don't like the looks of "body kits". Find an OEM option (M3 or M Tech) front and rear; add splitters to the side skirts. If done correct, the end result is very tasteful.

I would look at ECS TUNING. They sell the m3 replica bumpers both front and back, side skirts and replica M3, front quarter panels. The only other item you would need is a replica M3 hood.
Hard to go wrong on making your car look like an m3. https://www.google.com/search?q=bmw+...z5yyPx8sHxM%3A |

the whole point of customizing your car is so looks different. Everyone on here gets m3 or mtech... boring!
OP: i understand your dilemma and wish i could find something myself. I'm hoping to get the new 1M rep bumper for the front. Not sure about the rear yet.

There's a point where different turns into fugly. At this moment I believe tasteful is period correct and OEM+ look. Both bumpers mentioned are not period correct. One wants to a new 7 series and the other wants to be a M4. That fast and furious body kit theme is in the past.
If you want to drastically improve aesthetics, pick a nice set of wheels and suspension to compliment it. |

When I hear the words "body kit" I cringe at the thought of tasteless unpainted fiberglass monstrosities hanging off of Civic's and "Pimp My Ride". If that's what we're going for, here you go...

OP just wants to be unique. For body kits there's not many besides the ones the others mentioned so you will have to get them custom made by mix and matching but here are some pics of what you can do.. I also through a couple of non e90's in there to let your imagination flow. Just have fun with it.
