New e90 trunk fits the old e90
I am thinking, doesent the trunk on the new e90 fit on the old one, just by looking at the new and the old one i think it does fit.

Trunk lid? That won't fit, the light lines directly below are angled now. The pre-facelift lid is straight. Otherwise, not sure what you are asking...
Good luck.

Judging by quickly comparing the two I would say it does. The outermost lights on the pre-LCI and the LCI seem to be the same size, which makes me think they just changed the cosmetic appearance of the trunk lid.

I would assume the bodywork where it meets the trunk would be the same so, it should fit. The real question is "Is it worth the cost of doing?"

I can't imagine it would be that cheap to do. You'd have to order all the little electronic gizmos that go with it as well since you couldn't reuse things like the lights or housings from your current trunk.

You'd also need a new front bumper to hold the grilles since they are a new shape. I'm pretty sure that all the new body panels can be retrofitted onto pre-LCI cars.

If you consider only the boot lid...the price may be comparable, I think. But if you factor in the taillights...it becomes a whole lot more expensive. However, I think its worth it if you have the money.

i am pretty confident that the new trunk fits, if you look at the pictures there is no diferens just the two small lights.
I think the bigger lights look the same. It dont have to be very expensive to do if you just have the paicence to wait for a trunk in the scrapyard : ). |

I like the blacklines on the older E90 better. The new ones cheapens the rear to me. In regards to the trunk, it should fit fine.

In that case you still don't have the CSL style lip on the trunk lid and your car looks like a mutt IMO. I never liked it when people put Evo IX bumpers on their Evo VIII's either though so maybe it's just me.
