330i bumpers and clears

Hi

I would like to know if the e46 330i exclusive bumpers would fit on my e46 325i, and would you guys recommend me fitting them.

Also, I was wondering about you guys thoughts on fitting the clear indicators and rear clusters on the car also.

I don't want the car to look cheap. It must look as though its stock.

Any help would be appreciated.

Both the M-tech I and II bumper will fit on your car and look awesome, just remember both these bumpers use a lot of bit that are different from your current bumper fog lights, ducting ect (even the fog light bulbs are diffrent) so changing the bumpers will be a pricey exercise.

Clear indicators and tail lights will look awesome, but again the OEM ones from the dealers very pricey, and decent second hand ones are hard to find.

Edit: Your best bet for for the clear indicators and tail lights would probably be:

Dude, as always thanks for the feedback.

I'm not looking for the mtech I to ii bumpers. The ones I was thinking about look almose exactly like the exclusive pack bumpers, except that there is a mod where the little black slats of plastic are under the licence plate section.

Also the clears aren't too hard to get, I know a dude who has a set.

Maybe post a pic of the bumper you are thinking of, as I only know of three different OEM bumpers you get for the e46 f/l

If you can get clear tail lights and indicators, then do it :), they look so much better that the standard orange ones.

Ok, but to be continued . ....

Cos I'm browsing with my blackberry, uploading pics is a problem now. As soon as I am in the office, ill post the pic of the bumper.

But thanks for the assist. I'm very happy to be part of the bmw community.

Ill surely get the clears. Just have to wait to go back to pretoria to see the dude.

Yup, except the M3 who's bumper is a inch or two wider and needs some bending to fit to the standard E46 body. This does not looks good though...

he only had the e90 msport, but nobody here wanted it.. Was a good deal at 3500 for the set.
I have however asked him to let me know if he gets e46, then u will be the first to know.
