One thing that has bothered me since I bought the M3 has been the headlights. USA-market E36 M3s got the shaft, only getting crappy plastic headlamps as opposed to the Euro-spec glass units that are baller AF, as the youths would say.
I always thought I would just buy the glass units, and since this car was a track rat in its previous life, the plastic units were absolutely trashed. Yet for the last three years of ownership, I just... left them.
Looking at the car, I’ve always been disgusted with the faux-French yellow look (that’s what I told myself to feel better). But after driving the M3 to work last week, and then all over the western part of NC to visit my Dad and just rediscover how fun this car is, nighttime driving got *sketchy*.
I fixed that yesterday.
A whopping hour of my time and $30 for a Meguiar’s polishing kit, and this abused car looks so much better I genuinely can’t stop looking at it out the window.
Such a simple fix...
