I recently swapped out mine for the same reason. They were about 7 years old
Dinan CAI &Throttle body, ESS Tuning TS2, Bimmerbrakes gen3 headers, UUC SSK & DSSR. Achilles oil pump, VAC oil pan baffle
M3 Motor mounts, UUC Trans mounts, Modified clutch style LSD 3.15, TMS front subframe reinforcement, Koni Yellow sports,
H&R sport springs, UUC sway bars, BMW Perf. Rotors, UUC SS brake lines, Hawk HPS pads, CSL replica wheels,
Rotora strut bar, FXR HID conversion, M3 Mirror conversion, BSW stage 1 speakers
Finally got my bike rack mounting screws. Must be hand forged by Hans in the Black Forest as it took about 4 months to get them.
Also hit a piece of debris on the DC beltway last night... :-(
Anyone got a spare rocker panel?
Dang Shawn!! There is a lot of debris on the beltway unfortunately....

+1. My first e46 (1999 323i) came with some dents on the hood, close to the roundel, likely created by debris.
Lots of debris. While in freeway traffic, I saw a large object go airborne as if a plastic bag blown skyward by an up draft. Still no idea what it was, but impacted like a really heavy bar mat, taking out pass kidney and smashing flat on my windshield. Buuuumer

Dang Shawn, thats rough. I bet you cringed as you approached it and had choice words when it made the thud. Sorry bud![]()
Yep. In the second before impact I went through all options to avoid without causing further damage.... I've prided myself in avoiding accidents, sometimes thanks to BMW..LOL. BUT...alas...nope. Nuttin. I just kept saying "Are you serious?" The hematite grilles were less than 2 months old.
