I see different part numbers for front grills, up to 03/2003 & after 03/2003. What are the differences? Can pre-03/2003 grills work in the hood of a 2006 coupe?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone seen these on a 330?
Looks like a Sedan in the picture.

I had those on my car. They looked awesome.... for about a year and then they started delaminating
No dice ☹️pre-facelift uses the same as the M3 front grilles which are a good bit narrower. Making all four platforms (coupe and sedan pre/post-facelift) have interchangeable grilles would be way too logical! Also be advised the ECS grilles for post-facelift has a seam across the top, kind of giving it that (Pre-LCI) E90 mustache look.Quote:

I saw it for the first time on an Alpine White e46 M3 and thought it looked beautiful. Then I started considering it on my car but now that I think about it I don't think I'll want it on my car.Quote:

My car is black I'll see if I can dig up a pic with the CF for you. It was very subtle with the black.
There are two different kinds of shells:
The most expensive will be the shell that's made entirely of CF.
the second is a CF overlay on a plastic shell. That's what I had. They were $200 from TMS
I replaced the shells with black shells and I like them better...

It's been a while. KW V1's use E36 ///M3 and/or adjustable endlinks? Question being NOT standard E46 endlinks correct? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone bought APEX wheel spacers before? If I purchased 5mm spacers, would I need longer lug nuts or would the factory lugs be fine?
I haven't bought APEX spacers before but I have a pretty penny invested in all size of spacers. You should be good with the factory lugs for 5mm spacers.Quote:

Another part number request...
Need to buy a pair of these stock mirror insulation foam thingies, but RealOEM doesn't show them on the page where the outside mirrors are. Need left and right side part numbers..
Please and thank you! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb05fad786.jpg

I believe the foam thingy may be part of the mirror assembly and is not sold separately (hence no part number for it). If you see the following link for the mirror assembly, you will see that the foam is part of it:Quote:

But an assembly also comes with a motor, which is available separately...Quote:

I can't seem to buy this piece separately on eBay either since nobody seems to sell it. I bought a pair of stock mirrors to use while my M3 ones get fixed once and for all, but I can't mount 'em without these insulation pieces. The wind noise would drive me up a wall. lol
Once you take off your M3 mirrors to send for repair you should be able to use the foam that is currently on them?
BP, I have one you can have. Not sure what side. I'm sure you do. Someone else hear probably has the other one for you. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1a0bd97fa1.jpgQuote:

Edit: found the answer. New question below.
A faulty steering angle sensor would trigger pretty lights on the dash, yes? I don't have the lights, but when my wheels are straight, my steering points to around 11:15-11:30...

That's not enough of an angle to trip the error lights.Quote:

I blame Canada.
Thanks, BP. Another alignment was going to be in order before year end anyway, as I'll be doing more suspension refreshing.Quote:
