recap
ride model - 2001 e46 coupe sports


front headlights foglights and side signal lights
it has alot of stone chips, scratches and quite faded. will i be able to buy just the headlights cover itself?

Yes, of course u can replace the cover which selling anywhere.

rear lights
my rear brake lights are moulding inside. most probably is water gets seeped in. can the lights cover be opened? are they clipped, or permanently glued?

if you guys have a spare set, perhaps can make me an offer

mine is e46 pre-facelift coupe white lights.

U can open urself, clean it and glue it well so that water wont be going in again.

floor mats
any luck where i can get all 5 piece floor mats for the coupe? i am looking for those with the hole that i can clip them to the floor. i went to bavarian auto and they only carries sedan mats.

Try search on Ebay.com, plenties of OEM carpets u can buy there.

windows
i noticed that my windows are not tucking into the frame neatly and not giving a proper seal. when standing outside, sometimes when i closed the door, i will have to push the window to make it tuck in to the frame. could this be the regulator's issue?

Mayb we meet up and compare urs and mine to verify any different of the window rubbers and the power windows.

overhead bar
inside, the bar where passenger holds over the top, is quite loose. as i drive, will have krok krok krok sound. any experience from you owners on this? if yes, any fix?

Its the bar behind the seats, lower down ur seats and u can see the bar, try apply silicon to the plastis cover that cover the bar, both on facing passenger seats and the bar. It helps.

Rear tail lights...

Save the hassle, upgrade to the M3 LEDs type...Eagle Eyes will not have error.

As yours is 2001, you'll need a new LCM if you decide on the original BMW sets.

the thing i am afraid about led is, if the individual led decides to die one by one. just like back in those days where you can see those 3rd brake lights incorporated into car spoilers. when some led dies, it is very unsightly.

what is LCM btw? i dont get the term =)

Anyone knows how to remove the overhead handlebar aka oh shit bar (the bar that you hold on to, mounted above)?

its kinda loose and i want to see if i could do anything bout it.
