If you have to, go for the front only.
Sides are add-on, like ACS' for the E92/3 - FUGLY.
Kerscher's and Hamann's are nice too.
Kercher's lip.....

i think choosing a nice bodykit is as hard as deciding on a nice pair of rims for the car. sigh!

Re: Any suggestion for E90 body kits?
Both are subjected to individual tastes and preferences, plus an element of practicality.
Rims are mostly off the shelves, unless you custom. So relatively easier to choose. Some would put in objective parameters like weight and size, hence making choices easier.
When it comes to bodykits, most forgot about the material. The choices depend on taste and how aggressive the driver want the car to look. Also, taste encompasses overall theme and consistency, so some will match the front, sides, rear, trunk spoiler, roof spoiler, mirrors better.
But I notice one thing - increasingly these "tuners" sucked in overall package. Only certain parts of the bodykits are visually appealing. Hard to be a purist compare to the E46 days (full ACS, full Hamann). Gotta mix and match.

Re: Any suggestion for E90 body kits?
also had been shopping around for a nice bodykit for my wife's E90 for the past 6 months liao... no success...
some observations
1) only mtech/AC schnitzer/Reiger are ABS
2) Hamann/Kerscher/Lumma are fibre glass
Fitment is good for Mtech/ACS, others are about 70~80% fitment
Although Hamann/Kerscher/Lumma's fibre are quite good, they still crack, have seen a few cracked ones in the workshops...
Dilemma... Mtech/ACS are good but Mtech looks too subtle and ACS boot spoiler and rear spoiler not very nice...
Hamann/Kerscher/Lumma are way overpriced for Fibre glass kits...
wife's E90 is still bone stock, not even an exhaust finisher...
Considering:
1) Mtech +ACS's mtech front+rear, but no quads and boot spoiler
2) Mtech front + E90M3 side and rear with Hamann Quads (dunno can fit?)
dilemma...

Nah, I am settled on Mtech. Like the material used, likely to be good fitment, cheaper, not so loud, not so low, can clear more humps blah blah.
Just not ordering yet as have not decided whether to run quads. Dun wanna screw up the order for the rear apron.

Hi T6, The M tech are you referring to the one from PML? Can we buy from outside or buy the kits from PML and do the spray paint and fixing outside? PML pricing is horrible. Thanks!

Re: Any suggestion for E90 body kits?
There is only 1 type of M kit for the e90. I think the entire job is $3plus k including parts, spray and labour. The above pics not so great coz the car above not running 19" and not lowered. The top rite pic is with the extra splitters which is expensive. If want rear M spoiler, add another $400 to $500.
You can try asking other people to import for u but won't be cheap as the freight for such items will be high due to the sheer size.
