Great fit, I think the people who wrote the negative reviews didn't read the headline. This grille is for the E46 pre facelift so 99-2003 if you have a newer car you will need a facelift grille. Perfect for my 01 m3.

The other side looked about 1.5 inches smaller and couldn't even get it to sit properly. Just paint your ugly chrome parts black or spend the money on good ones. I didn't have highβ¦
Absolute rubbish. The first problem arose straight out of the box when two of the side clips on one of the grilles broke. I guess what the heck this is a replacement for the original grill that already has five broken clips so I can give it a try. When I paste it, two things happen. First, the two bottom latches break, and second, the frame just slides out without sticking to the hood. I have a non facelifted e46 m3 which is not necessarily listed in the company's ad but must be exactly theβ¦
