The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[pedro2u]

It's a FL sedan and I assume it wouldn't show up if I entered my VIN since my car did not come with the M package from factory. I want to install a M-Tech II rear bumper to complete the look and all the eBay bumpers come with the standard strip for cars without PDC, hence why I'm looking to buy a PDC strip. The center strip was different for M-Tech on the front bumper, so I figured it would be the same on the rear, but if it's the same part between bumpers then that's even better.

I'll just see if i can reuse my old strip and if not I might try the tip with the dealer. It'll be genuine BMW no matter where I buy it, so I wouldn't save much online anyway it seems.

When you go to Vehicle Trim, it gives you the choice to choose regular Rear Trim Cover or M Trim cover. Enter your VIN...... may the force be with you....

That seems to have done the trick, new part number: 51127893306

Shows right up on Turner and explicitly says M: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2...uine-bmw-part/

Nice and affordable too. Thanks!

yes that is the correct number. just put it on my car a few months ago. you definitely want this and not reuse the regular strip. Under $50.

Anybody is using TYC branded front clear turn signals? I am thinking to buy them to complete clear set on my car. I would like to buy OEM, but cannot find them. ECS running sells them, but they are keeping to push stock estimate. Currently, they suppose to be back in stock at the end of March.
I know that DEPO brand is available everywhere, but I know that quality is pretty sad, so that is not an option for me. That is why I am trying to find out if TYC is a decent alternative for OEM.

My E90 335 needed a taillight. I went with TYC, no complaints. Good quality and fit. I bought mine in Amazon.

I have TYC Amber turn signals in the front. I think they are pretty good for the price. Good fitment and looks exactly like OEM.

Thank you for feedback guys.

I have one TYC corner light. The gasket broke, so based on this limited sample I can't say that the quality is oem equivalent. Meanwhile, the other corner with what I'm guessing is the original BMW light is looking fine.

I've been holding off on replacement, but want to find something soon-ish.

How long gasket had lasted? Did you get them new?

The prior owner got them, so I don't know how long this one lasted.
