    **cough, cough**



    they look much better with clear/red tails, but when they facelifted the 3 series they added yellow to the center, which is the blinker.

          come on guy. :?

          that is a US 330i PP. I swear. I work at the dealership. The new 3 series have those ugly yellow blinkers.

          It is definately for the US. Don't make me go to the dealer and take a picture of 40 3 series with yellow blinkers in the rear ;)

          :roll:

            so, someone on here asked if some companies made altezzas for the bmws, well they do or I think they do. Well I rolled up to sharis a while back and there was an e36 with altezzas!! it was the ugliest sight ever!!!

                I dunno.. All the cars I've seen have had clear/red tails. maybe people here are into afterkarket stuff? then again, there aren't a lot of E46s here.

                actually, go look at the BMW website.. the only cars with yellow rear blinkers are the 3 series, not including the M. in any case, it's clear that all read is legal in some parts of the world, and I still say the car in the pic above is not a US car (no plates I've ever seen are black ;) )

                      The cheapest versions from the E46 has orange blinkers, the E46 with the optional M-Technik kit (Euro cars) you have the clear blinkers in the front and rear ;)

                            If there are E30 with E36 altezzas, that's good news,

                            then you could use Red/Clear (OEM) E36 taillights. Custom tho, but maybe look good. Anyone up to P-shopped red bottom 2/3 and top 1/3 clear E36 tails on a E30.

                              Any E36 tails look terrible on E30's. I've seen numerous photoshops of them.

                                I've seen them too. I spent a good hour the other day searching for them.
