I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Default Hooded lights

Hey everyone,

I just brought a late '03 318ti, and just wondering if anyone knows wat is involved of getting rid of the ugly hooded headlights? Looks like you have to replace the bonnet and also the bottom of the headlight assembly...?

Any help much appreciated

Sounds like far too much work to do just to replace the headlights.

You want to buy a 98 e36 318ti? j/k
