bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted December 20, 2008 Off topic but how do you tell the difference between Facelift and Pre Facelift in the e36? I know of the wider chrome strip around the kidney grille, but surely there'll be more than one difference! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 5 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) I think maybe the side indicators are clear on the facelift modelsNa, they come in both orange and clear. The side repeaters are different, The Front grill is different, The steering wheel is different (upgraded to three spoke), The shifter knob for autos, The engines (M50-M52). I'm sure theres more but I can't think of anymore right now. Edited December 23, 2008 by Nick021 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wom 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2008 facelift and non-facelift 323i's both have the M52 engine then you have the M52TU that appears in the later 323i's (I think it was 1998?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 5 Report post Posted December 26, 2008 then you have the M52TU that appears in the later 323i's (I think it was 1998?)The M52TU doesn't come in the E36's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 5 Report post Posted December 26, 2008 ah cool, I stand corrected I do too. I thought 323's only came in facelift, but of course if they did come in pre-facelift they would be m52. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
