It's nothing more than the bumper cover cover the rest of the world gets. The Euro version does not have the indentations for the reflectors, so there would be no need to paint reflectors and place back on the bumper at all.

Pros: Much cleaner look

Cons: Bumper cover will be very expensive and needs to be painted to match your color as they do not come pre-painted from BMW. More labor/time getting the old cover off and the new one on. Also, if you got busted for not having reflectors it would be very hard to bring your car back into legal compliance without resorting to the NA bumper cover.

congrats!

You can barely notice them when they are painted. Swweeeettt ride X the space grey is the bees knees!!!

Eurobumber is the bumper w/o the reflector indentations, so it looks much cleaner. You can order that from Mexico or Europe!!!

One question, do you know if those e46 wheels (pictured earlier) will fit the new e92?

KonigsTiger · 03-11-2008, 09:08 PM

I believe the E92 wheels do not fit the E46, so that I don't think it works the other way around!!!

No way in the world you'll get busted for that. Cops are not that DOT-savvy!

GO BRUINS. 12th Banner this year.

Btw, out of curiosity, are you Asian or Caucasian because you look a little bit of both.

They are H8 35W bulbs for the angel eyes, gives you a white/blueish look instead of stock yellow. You can find them on ebay.

Thanks, I think I will get those!! Don't really like yellow anyway, but never gave it a second thought.

Congratulations Xcellere and enjoy your baby !!!

Lovely, lovely car! You have one of my top 2 combos in colour. Also, thanks for showing us why we MUST get rid of the ugly orange reflectors.

I also want a clear bra etc - and the guys you took it to did a first-rate job.

Congrats X, and enjoy the speed in safety

eclipsisNA · 03-13-2008, 05:12 PM

The GP 8500s and my carbon fiber emblem are in now! The GPs look absolutely perfect. In person they're white with a slight blue tint to them, and the pics are more blue than they are in real life. I couldn't ask for a better looking angel eye. PICZ:

moog55 · 03-14-2008, 12:09 AM

the 8500s are sick! what's next for the mods?

Are those just replacement bulbs or is that a Xenon/HID light kit?
