My 2001 BMW
325i "Facelift" Project
FYI: "Facelift" definition:
|
The BMW 3 series (e46) sedan was produced from 1999 - 2005. In 2002, BMW "facelifted" the sedan to give it a look that was more in line with the current 5 and 7 series. The facelift consisted of giving the car a new rear bumper, new hood, new fenders, and new headlights / corner lights. I decided (as a few others have) to facelift my car. Here is the first run of pictures. I intend to do more later. The car still needs a set of OEM facelifted Xenons to be installed. Once they are, the headlight trim will be silver, and will match the corner lenses trim. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions: steveaschettino@yahoo.com |
