Are Pre-LCI M Sport Bumpers the same as LCI M Sport Bumpers?

Might be a stupid question, and apologies in advance if this has been asked already.

I am planning on doing a M Sport Conversion to my 340i soon, after being inspired by a few other threads on this forum, like these ones -

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1233330

As you can imagine, I've been scouring the net and came across this listing on eBay -

https://www.ebay.com/itm/133058028488

This kit has got everything that I could need when fitting the bumpers to my car, and the price, to me, is amazing too. The only thing that is putting me off about this kit is the model years. The ad says these bumpers are for pre-LCI cars (2015 and before), but my car is a 2016.

My question is this, are the pre-LCI M Sport bumpers the same as LCI M Sport Bumpers? Or are they completely different?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pre-LCI, the 3 series, and 4 series M sport shared the same front bumper, which is NOT posted in this thread. The LCI 3 series M sport got a new bumper, the one you posted in this thread. The LCI 4 series M sport bumper did not change.

So the F30 pre-LCI M Sport Bumpers are different to the F30 LCI M Sport Bumpers?

When I read the LCI guide on the forum, and I compared the LCI M Sport Bumpers to the Pre-LCI Bumpers, I didn't see any visual differences. My worry was fitment of these bumpers to an LCI car.

If the fitment is the same as Pre-LCI, then that works for me I guess
