Nope, never changed the turn signal.

I wonder how much a Euro front bumper would run. A radical option, sure, but perhaps less of a pita then trying to find color keyed reflectors that match just right. Then again, you might have to get the bumper painted and the blended with the car anyway.

Ordering the Euro bumper would cost you probably $500+ not to mention you wouls still need to get it painted and you would be looking at approx $250+ for paint. Better off paying a body shop to custom fill the holes and paint the bumper. Price ont hat would be approx $450+

Thanks for the intelligible and vivid review, everyone appreciates a consummate blogger. I, however, personally love the sound of the metallic exhaust note of the E46; it's titillating, especially as it wails past 5000rpm.

I am so obsessed with the new M3, I didn't even see the girl. That's pathetic on my part.
