So I guess I'm new to this whole E46 experience and I need some suggestions for upgrading my ride a little. Unfortunately $$ is a factor for me right now...but I would like to add some exterior looks changes AND some performance enhancements. Any suggestions would be appreciated; I have a basically stock 1999 323i with 147k (I know that's a lot, but she still runs great). :bow:

I can sell you some clear corners and sides markers for extremely cheap. That would put a good touch on the exterior section. Everyone does it. Get rid of those yellow corners and sides. Pm me.

I think the first step would be a set of clears for your car. You can at least do the fronts and sides but I would also match the rears with clears.

You can also do a matte black or painted front grill set, angel eyes, bulb upgrades, turn signal bulbs and a painted door lock cover. Check out our site, www.jlevisw.com, as we have a bunch of options that are budget friendly.

Deer after car:

I'm having the body-shop install clear turn signals and side markers (driver's side paid for by insurance)

What type of front lip would look good with stock bumper (maybe a little aggressive)? :hmm:

I don't have those clears anymore i tinted them. I went for a blacked out car.

blacked out grill, window trim, smoked or clear side markers and corners, deer whistle, tint, angel eyes, weight reduction (always free), and kpengs air freshener mod.

1. 3M vinyl over your exterior black trim to match the body colour.
2. Spray your grills matte black.
3. Smoked corners and turn signals.

Happy modding!

What is your budget? There are tons of mods that are available for your car. A nice place to start would be lighting.
