Looks like you're looking for an M5 conversion, not an LCI.

Yes M5 but LCI M5

The LCI tail swap is the easiest part of the project, many have done it including me. If you are looking to swap in the LCI headlights, this is more challenging. Since you seem to be looking to go M5 look, if you want the M5 OEM front bumper, you will have to change the fenders. There are aftermarket M5 front bumpers though that are made to fit the G30 without swapping in new fenders and the LCI headlights will fit it.

My $0.02 cents, just get an LCI M5 or and LCI G30. It's a major project and investment that is not worth the effort or the money. Put that money towards what you want from the factory.

This is my thought. If I start trying to make my car look like a different model, then I need to get a new car. If I can't afford that car, I need to practice some acceptance. Haha.

Also if you were to go ahead with this, all those costs would be lost when you come in to trade in, in fact the car could be worth less than usual as it's non standard. It would put off many ( I doubt a bmw dealership would touch it)

Yeh go and buy a LCI if that's what you want

Hello,
I really do like the LCI Tail lights. I have a 2017 G30, is that conversion worth the price and any good DIY instructions on it? Thank you

Not always that straight forward. With chip shortages extending 2 years now, it's really hard to find the exact spec car. Even today you still can't factory order a technology plus pack in UK.

Hi guys!
so this is my first post! today I and my brother was done putting on the bumper we made transfer all of the components from the m sport original bumper. now after we plugged in everything all of the parking sensors works at expected. But i get this Pedestrian Alert system error on my Idrive. and also its greyed out. Any idea? this is my first major modification and i am already scared. is there a way to code it out? or will it go to normal by itself?
