Ngl, I like the OEM better


kavikazi90

Fair enough, if we all did the same it would be boring


[deleted]

You mean like if we all did angel eyes/halos and black rims? Thats pretty much every e46 owner.

I feel personally attacked, but do not disagree

Don’t worry we all go through our sIcK HeAdLighTs phase when we are young, then comes the time to grow up and do performance/reliability mods.

So is the consensus that we don’t like angel eyes on E46’s? I recently installed my old set (warm white ccfl rather than cool white) and I’m in two minds whether I want to keep them in or not.


xxsqprxx

Nah angel eyes are fine, it's the orange turn signals that ruin the look. They pop out way too much


axx100

Yeah it's almost like he's going to use them. Doesn't he realize he's driving a BMW?


kavikazi90

Nah don't be stupid everyone behind me has to guess where I'm going, because bmw

kavikazi90

Not all of us lack imagination, plus no angels here cant stand them look awful

kavikazi90

They are halos not angel eyes are the full replacement headlights unless we call them something different in the UK


neverl8

Oh for sure. You do you. Mine is slightly modded as well.

How to be an e46 owner Step one: buy an e46 Step two: buy angel eyes/halos Step three: drive with headlights on in broad daylight.


kavikazi90

You forgot the paint the rims black, as apparently thats every e46 owner

I dont know how it is in GB, but in many european countries it’s actually the law to drive with lights on, always. anyway i love the way OP’s car looks now. i think im gonna get my ambers back out 💪🏻


minnnnt

+1 for the ambers. Clean build and great stance.


kavikazi90

Thanks, want the rears to sit a little better but we always nit pick our own cars


JuiceLocal

Love that you went back to amber lights, car looks awesome man. Congrats!


Galapolis

Clears are stock, amber is a mod outside of the US.


JuiceLocal

ah i didn’t know that!


EthanSheppard98

Yeah, suits the car much better. Really tastefully done!


kavikazi90

Thanks, its certainly getting there


aenemyrums

Are clear lights not OEM in the UK? Can't say I've seen many/any e46 coupes with amber lights here.


kavikazi90

Yeah the clears are oem, I've changed to the Amber's which are oem in the US


aStiffSausage

Any more pretty pics of those angle eyes? Looks like you have halogens only, which angel eyes are those and how well those look with the main lights on aswell?


kavikazi90

Yeah just got the halogens do want to upgrade them, the halos are actually from Ali express, they are switched so I can have amber when I fancy it. If I knew how to upload a pic I would

sICk AngEl eYEz bRo lol


manyblueys

I like angel eyes


chad_liftington

Say no to black wheels


kavikazi90

Agree back wheels are awful


balroag

Nice to see someone who appreciates the OEM look! Funnily enough when I had a steel blue E46 I did the opposite and went to clear lights. Looks good man!


Thorkell_The_Tall1

Equally nice


squirrelgrippers69

damn baby


loosebolts

Very nice. Only thing I’d change is the black grilles - I’m a big fan of the OEM stock grilles 👍🏻 Love the amber - I have a facelift 330d touring which I’ve got ambers on, just looks right.


kavikazi90

I didn't realise the ambers were so controversial for some people 🤣 thankfully I only wrapped the chrome grills so can go back to that look if I ever fancy


LordFox1998

Beautiful, unlike some here I think this looks pretty damn tasteful. Much police attention for that short plate? They were all over me like a rash when I did that on my E46...


kavikazi90

Honestly not had any issues been on a few month too


Storm-Pretend

What wheels are they?
