Hello Blurter,

Re: your search for a 330Ci Clubsport, here are pre- and post-facelift pics of E46 Coupes for you to compare, the dark blue car being pre-facelift, the silver car post-facelift:

FRONT:





Differences - post-facelift car has wider kidney grilles, all in one lamp units with HIDs and upswept teardrop lights, revised lower airdam and wider bonnet opening.

REAR:





Differences - fewer changes here, just LED rear lamp clusters and a revised rear bumper.

Anything with yellow indicator lenses (front, side or rear) is DEFINITELY a pre-facelift E46 Coupe.

Don't worry about people doing their own facelifts to pre-03 cars, as although it is only a bolt-on job, to facelift an older Coupe, you'd need the bonnet, two front wings, two new kideny grilles, two lamps clusters and a new front bumper, and as you can imagine at BMW prices that is NOT cheap!

As I said in the PM, I think all 330 Clubsports were pre-facelift, but I'm not 100% sure...

Good luck!

Matt

 

Many thanks Mat and big respect

I owe you one

 

Pre-facelift tail lights are awful!

 

I'm damned if I could tell the difference on the road
They both look like Hitler

 

Yes, I AM a boring BMW anorak! I can spot a facelift model at 50 paces!
