Greetings! This is my first time posting here I have been using this forum for almost a year while building my f25 x3 35i m sport. i recently was in a little bit of a wreck and i basically have to replace the entire front end of the x3. the guys at the repair shop are good friends of mine and they have offered to work with me on possibly choosing aftermarket parts to replace the oem ones, all covered under insurance.

i've been looking around seeing if an lci conversion is possible, but it looks like more trouble than it's worth, especially with the coding and rewiring.

my second option is to try and find some aftermarket headlights that change the look. i found a pair on aliexpress for around $1000 with shipping (photo attached). has anyone seen/used these before? if so are they crap? does the buyer actually send them or is it a scam?



here's the link to them:

lastly, does anyone have any insight on alpina body kits? i've been looking endlessly for the full front bumper and the best i can find is the splitter, which won't be covered under insurance obviously. if my shop could direct bolt on an alpina front bumper that would be sweet.

i've also attached some photos of the build process along with what it looks like now, since i just recently made an account.
