Last i heard from Stuttgart, >35k (plus complete respraying). BMW stop selling the complete facelift package. To facelift now, you will need to order all the parts individually (higher cost). Btw, u missed out the kidney grill.

haha.. missed kidney grille..
btw how is the idrive on the pre fl vs the fl models to use?
do you know if the 730 / 735 came with steel suspensions?
thanks

You can PM our friend Yazmeen His dad just did the conversion. I heard it's something like RM40K plus.

yup, it's 40k ++, but really satisfied with the job as they (Stuttgard) has experienced to do that before. just be prepared for the rim upgrading cost as well...

last time, the conversion kit came as a package, now, u have to order in loose item. it'll take some time to make it complete. just standby more than a month for ur car to be complete

Not sure about my suspension except that it comes with EDC. I.might consider selling my 735i, if the price is right. 04/08 Facelifted.

i am thinking abt it...

PS. Front fenders also missed out. The front light cutouts are different, so they need to be changed. So all body panels front of the A-pillar need to be changed.

Agreed, all of the front part has to be changed. I've been informed last time that there are more than 80 items(including small items) need to be replaced, dunno whether it's true or they just want to provoke to support the conversion cost
