Hi, I'm new to the forum, despite owning my M3 for over 2 years now. I'm probably going to be using the forum for a bit of technical info from time to time on BMWs and I've been pointed in the direction of Bavarian Board by one of my work colleagues! I've got an E46 M3 in Carbon Black with Imola Red leather. Cheers, Ross ------------- E46 M3 Carbon Black/Imola Red |

Andrew - the go anywhere Astras you mean? Isn't that what they're there for?? Davytombstone, thanks for the comments mate and for the link you sent. The grille badge stays I'm afraid but I'm interested in these depo's you speak of? What are those? ------------- E46 M3 Carbon Black/Imola Red |

Depo's are the smoked front indicators as seen on Davy's M3, very effective on a black car. ------------- F22 Estoril Blue M235i |

eBay is your best bet Ross but there are 2 different fitment types to look out for. 2001-early 2002 models had clip in indicators, 2002 onward models have screw in indicators. ------------- F22 Estoril Blue M235i |

ross, bluebro is right but the ones on my car are projector not depo. check ebay and see which ones you like best. most seem to prefer depo. ------------- http://s324.photobucket.com/user/davytombstone/media/newsig_zpsd6056b1d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">
