Afaik the E46 coupe got a similar facelift to the E46 saloon in late 2002. The front headlights and side indicators were different along with rear LED lights.

E46 Coupe 1999 - 2002:

Side repeaters are rectangle shape and are mounted lower on the wings. Headlamps and front indicators are two seperate units.

E46 Coupe (facelift) 2003 - 2006:

Side repeaters on the facelifted model are triangle shaped and mounted higher in the wings. Front indicators next to the headlamps are also different. I think they are one unit, headlamp and indicator.
