try searching for Life Cycle Impulse--what that means? i dont know lol.
but to answer your question.
for e90:
pre-lci - models 2006 -2008
lci - models 2009-2011
not sure what years for e92

e90 lci looks "fresher"
such as: tail lights, hood, front/rear bumper, sidemirrors.

theres been thread about this subject. maybe mods should find that thread and put it on stickies

I noticed the LCI M3s are not equipped with those fancy bright-blue angels, like the LCI 3 series coupes have, any idea why?

Also Someone dinged my Fender today and was wondering If the M3 fenders fit my car since I like them quite a bit.

Don't forget the car is literally longer.
M3 side skirts don't fit. Pre-LCI hoods are too short too.
