About the BMW E90

The E90 was BMW's fifth-generation 3 Series, sold 2005 through 2013 across four body styles: E90 sedan, E91 Touring (wagon), E92 coupe, and E93 convertible. Engine range was N52 through N55 6-cylinders, plus the S65 V8 in the E90/E92/E93 M3. The mid-2008 production shift from CCC to CIC head units is the major split in E90 infotainment.

E90 stock is heavy on head units (CCC pre-2008, CIC post-2008), CID displays, Logic 7 amplifiers, and FRM2 footwell modules. Most parts cross-fit between E90 sedan and E91 Touring; E92 coupe and E93 convertible share the dashboard, electronics, and most interior parts with E90 but have unique body parts rear of B-pillar.

FRM2 failure from jump-start spikes is the most common E90 electrical issue. We sell tested, virgin, and pre-coded FRM2 replacements — virgin is preferred for clean swap. Coding after install takes 30 minutes at any BMW indie with ISTA.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the BMW E90

Do E90, E91, E92, and E93 share parts?
Yes for most chassis, interior, electronics, and infotainment. E90 = sedan, E91 = Touring (wagon), E92 = coupe, E93 = convertible. Bodywork from the B-pillar back is unique to each variant. Doors, hoods, fenders, dashboards, and most cabin parts interchange between sedan and Touring; coupe and convertible share most parts with each other but differ from sedan/wagon.
What's the difference between CCC and CIC head units in E90?
CCC (2005–2008) was the original iDrive with a separate menu controller and basic graphics. CIC (2008–2011) added a faster CPU, 80GB drive, and the modern menu structure. They're not pin-compatible — different connector and different coding. Most upgrades from CCC to CIC need a wiring adapter and full coding.
Do these parts fit BMW xDrive (AWD) models?
Most interior, infotainment, lighting, and bodywork parts are identical between RWD and xDrive variants of the same chassis. xDrive-specific differences are concentrated in the transmission tunnel, drivetrain, and ABS hardware. Listings explicitly call out drivetrain-specific fitment in the spec table.
How do I find my BMW chassis code?
Your chassis code is on the VIN plate inside the driver's door jamb, on the strut tower under the hood, and in your owner's manual under "Vehicle identification." It's a 3-character code like F30, E46, or G20 — the first letter is the platform generation and the digits are the body type. Searching by chassis is the single most reliable way to confirm BMW parts fitment.
What if the part doesn't fit my BMW?
Every listing ships with eBay's Money Back Guarantee. If a part arrives that doesn't match its stated fitment, you're covered by eBay for a full refund — return shipping included. Confirm your OEM part number against the listing before ordering to avoid the round trip.
