    Hey guys,

    I have an E46 318ci PRE facelift model!

    Anyway need the passenger indicator replaced, cheapest OEM version i can find on ebay is this

    However it says its only for 99 - 01 cars, my car is a 2003.

    Will this fit my car? i dont see why it wouldnt as i doubt BMW changed the indicator design on the car afaik 99 - 2003 have the same front light designs! or am i wrong (i know most 2003 e46's are facelifted but my car isnt)

    yup will fit yours. it's defo a typo in the ad. looks like they're mixing it up with the saloon. (the e46 saloon pre facelift was from 98 to 01)

    Use http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ to find the part number for your car and then e-mail the seller to see if its the same part number

    Some of the pre facelift indicators are secured with a tab, some with a screw. They're not interchangeable afaik. These are cheapish from the main dealer, which is your best bet.

    Only difference is the wings? The indicators are part of a one piece headlight on a facelift car, theres a feckin huge difference :D

    Dam if only you saw the thread earlier. The indicators for the car are secured by a screw and the ones i bought are different, looks like they clamp onto something!

    Rang BMW and they said 62 euro for just the indicator, annoying because i bought the pair that didnt fit for 25 euro!

    Money wasted :mad::mad::mad:

    You'll sell the other set easily enough - theres usually someone who wants them.
