Will your non-MTech 04' Fogs fit the OEM MTech bumper (assuming pre-LCI)?

I have Pre-LCI fogs in my LCI MTech. I did need to buy a H8 to 9006 wire harness for the foglight connection. The fitment was perfect, with no issues!

I hope this helps.

In my case, the 05 530i original bumper fog lights wood not fit, had to order. Also the grill, left & right cover blanks and left & right break vents had to be ordered as well.

Who did you order from? I've heard of fitment issues with some vendors. In my case, I ordered my MTech from Trinity Autosport and had no issues reusing my Pre-LCI fogs.

My bumper is a BMW OEM Mtec bumper and the fog light assembly is a all in unit. Free form fog light, bulb assy including all hardware from BMW, same with grill, 2 cover plates and vent duck assys. All OEM BMW parts. Look at REALOEM.com for the parts you need....
You will be happier with the real deal and quality, that and the price difference via the net isn't that bad...
