So i finally sold the old 1987 325, and found a 05 330i zhp and not two months of having this car some moron decides to stop in the middle of the road and a guy on a bike hits my driver side of my car:censor:, lucky it wasnt worse then it was tho.

I agree I hate dumb drivers. Glad it wasn't worse!

Damn, that's like a ultra sh*tty spot to get hit too, right under the tail on the 1/4 section... sorry dude.

I seriously cannot stand when idiots just stop or dramatically slow down in the middle of the road. I seriously wonder what is going through their heads. I'm always thankful that this doesn't happen to me.

The good news is that it looks repairable, and you can use the insurance money to buy Genuine RCR tail lamps.

Something similar happened to me, bought smoke tails from stealthauto. Installed myself and kept remainder of insurance money for other mods.

The dealship only says around $2500 to fix it so not to bad, the waiting on the insuranse part sucks.

I would do that if it was just the tail light but being theres body damage im goin to have the dealer fix everything, then I will be getting extra money from the insurance thats what im going to use for the smoke tail lights along with the smoke side markers.

You should use that extra insurance coin to purchase genuine BMW tail lamps. Nothing smoked. ZHPs are too nice for smoked/tinted stuff.

+1 the ZHPs look awesome in 100% stock form.

What the heck is up with all the e46's getting get hit! This is the 2nd thread since I posted about my car on the 6th!


GL on getting it fixed. Hate to see cars get hit

Evidence to support the claim that ZHPs look great in stock form:

 

[Mango]

Yep! though that one has some weird corner lens, fog light, and license plate things going on but I get it overall. I prefer the sedan! (unless it's a red coupe)

I wanna say the headlights and corner lenses are stock (as you know it's a sealed unit on 04+ coupes), but you're right about the license plate and foglamps. And yes, sedan until the end :excited:

 

[Mango]

Oh no i meant the corner reflectors. should be amber. at least they were on my E46 coupe (2006 MY)

 

[Mango]

 

[tock172]

Oh yeah the corner reflectors. I completely missed that, coming from a sedan which doesn't have them. The ones on that ZHP I posted don't look quite right.

what you did with the clear side markers is all I'm going to do but in the smoke form.
