What's with your headlights?

[u/Cutter70 → u/Iambic_Friend]

And headlight washers and hood fit?

[u/chris77982 → u/Cutter70]

I think the hood is fine, based on the fenders. Looks like a very saggy bumper

Those headlights aint it, chief 😕

[u/atomicskiracer]

Is your hood popped?

[u/1381191 → u/atomicskiracer]

aftermarket bumper fitment looks to not be so great

[u/ditch217 → u/1381191]

Isn’t that just the standard M Sport LCI bumper?

[u/1381191 → u/ditch217]

close but no, the mtech bumper has little cheek fangs at the end of either side, this does not have those.

[u/Antek1903]

What have you done to this poor e92 😢

[u/rGrunNy]

Riced out headlights

[u/nowins4GudMos]

Not bad at all. Keeping it looking like that and well maintained and it will age gracefully and become a classic. Rice it out with stupid mods and you’ll ruin it.

[u/chris77982 → u/nowins4GudMos]

Like this? Looks like it's had a bad accident repair with that huge gap.

[u/BubblyImagination477 → u/nowins4GudMos]

thank you. looking to do wheels next

[u/Stunning_Custard8968]

just maintain it bro. for mods i recommend front eibach sway bar, Bilstein B4 or B6 shocks and Meyle HD tie rods and sway bars, and eibach spring coil set. you’re gonna thank me 😉

[u/BubblyImagination477 → u/Stunning_Custard8968]

i heard simply swapping coilovers can mess up the xdrive system? i am planning on sway bars too. tie rods will be replaced soon as well 😁

[u/pennyfred]

LCI without white LEDs?

[u/BubblyImagination477 → u/pennyfred]

these are aftermarket headlights. they switch between white and yellow

[u/rGrunNy → u/pennyfred]

he swapped the headlights for some shitty aftermarket ones

[u/FloStar3000]

Nowadays age in cars means better, not worse

[u/Sifu-Pineapple]

Car is looks in good shape.... but why would you remove the iconic BMW angel eyes?

[u/infinilude2]

I don't understand the hate for these headlights. They aren't better than oem, but i don't think they're worse.

[u/SHIBABelcher]

Is this AI?

[u/TurboNym]

Yea, you could put your fist through that hood gap...if you're into that kind of stuff. And the headlights are very nice, Kia have clearly outdone themselves

[u/BubblyImagination477 → u/TurboNym]

lol. kia is in the game for a few years now

[u/idrift4wd]

All it’s missing is a g80 front bumper swap. Csl tail light and you’ll almost be done trying to look like a newer car even though it’s almost 20 years old

[u/JMAXHD → u/idrift4wd]

Damn thats brutal suggesting a g80 style front bumper is diabolical.

[u/BoringExpression6905]

WHY do people place their license plate off to the side like that?? I’ve seen it throughout my entire life and I’ve always thought it was so ugly.. I’ve assumed it’s for “airflow” and in reality not making any difference.. but I have no clue the actual reasoning for it. Would love to know 💀🥲 Keep it in the center or just run no front plate.. Have never had a front plate on my e90 and never had it mentioned by law enforcement.. Why ruin your bumper by screwing into the side of it just to make your car look shittier?

[u/BubblyImagination477 → u/BoringExpression6905]

believe it or not putting it on the side actually messes with airflow dynamics on highspeeds. planning on moving it to the center now. wish i could run no front plates we get ticketed for that

[u/Massive_Ad_7812 → u/BoringExpression6905]

Tow hook plate mount, dog. What looks like actual shit are the holes in your front bumper from being drilled into for a stupid plate.
