So, i had a crazy thought yesterday... I like the front of the F32 LCI more than my F30 LCI and wondering if its somehow possible to do a front end conversion? Obviously it would cost like 4K USD to do, but is it possible?

Ive done some research and found out that i would have to replace the front bumper to the F32 M-sport, buy the F32/F82 LCI adaptive LED headlights and buy F80 front fenders since the front bumper and headlights of the F32 is shaped differently. (i would get the vents on the fenders removed and get a charging door added of course since i got a 330e.)

Does this sound at all do able?



Adding a simple photoshopped image of a F30 with the F32 grilles and headlights. I didnt have the time to photoshop the front bumper of the F32.

yes its very doable...i've done my research too...because i wanted to switch my F36 to F82 front end and during the process i learned that the only difference between the F30 and F32/36 are the headlights, bumper and fender....

Thanks for the info, it seems pretty logical that a F32 conversion is possible because of the M3 having the F32/F82 headlights as well.

A F36 with a F82 front wouldve looked amazing as well, maybe it would look even better as a full "F86" conversion with the M4 rear bumper, exhaust ETC as well?

I though the hood was longer too on f32/80 vs f30.

A little change of plans with this project, im gonna use an "M4 style" bumper for the F32 instead of the F32 M-sport bumper. Only thing im not so sure about is how the radar cruise control is gonna fit in the M4 style front bumper, but im sure ill figure it out. Worst case i have to 3D print a new lower grille for the car.

I got the F32/F80/F82 LCI1 headlights, gonna try them on the car some day its a bit warmer and see if they actually work or if the car will need coding. It would be a bit strange if it needed coding considering i got the F30 adaptive LED headlights, and in theory the adaptive LED headlights for the F32/F80/F82 should be the exact same.

Ive bought the GTS style hood for the F30/F32 which should come in a week or so. Also bought fenders for the F32 and new F30 fenders. Because the F30 fenders is gonna have to get their front part cut off, and have the front part of the F32 fender welded on.

So yea, complete plan is

Get the F30/F32 GTS style hood - Bought
Get new F30 and F32 fenders - Bought
Get F32/F80/F82 headlights - Bought
Get F32 "M4 style" front bumper - Not bought yet
Get either genuine Alpina Classic C13 19" rims and get them wrapped in black, or replika Alpina Classic C13 rims thats already black.


Im aiming to have the car finished within June.
Ive photoshopped how im planning to have my car look like when its done. Not decided yet if i want to keep my car white or have it wrapped in the same shade of blue as the M3 CS.

And to those wondering, no its not gonna say M3 on it... The 330e and eDrive badges are gonna stay on the car, but im probably gonna black them out.

yes it's possible

Good plan but you could have saved a bunch of money by just getting an m3 style bumper for the f30…
