E46=apple E36=orange You might be able to cross pollinate them, but in the end, about half the people will probably think it tastes weird. | | | 05-19-2006, 08:31 AM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: long beach Posts: 182 | EXACTLY it doesnt look right. lines dont match. youre faking the funk. the e36 headlights doesnt match the contours of that bumper. dont get me wrong, i love that front bumper!!! On an e46. There is nothing boxy on an e46. if you're going to use the logic of putting 2000+modern styling on cars.......... why not go ahead and custom the new 2007 3 series front bumper on it? i bet if those go into production or m5 style front bumpers for the e36, you'll be on it tough huh? | | | 05-19-2006, 08:49 AM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | I like the E36, I think i am going to get that. Can u put a euro plate on the E36? | | | 05-19-2006, 09:50 AM | #23 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 | Quote: Originally Posted by KetteringTi E46=apple E36=orange
