Adrian ◊ 2006-03-16 23:15	Okay, only the experts like myself will notice this...when watching this scene in "White Chicks", pay close attention to the interior of this BMW. It is NOT an E46. It isn't even an E36. It's an E30. Those who know the E30 will agree with me. How weird is this? Check out the dash in the movie, and the seats, and windshield - it's an E30 for sure. They are using a red E46 cabrio for the exterior shots, and a red exterior with black interior E30 325i cabrio for the interior shots. I guess they felt the E30 was better for interior shots. The car is used for only one scene I believe...when they are singing, that's it. The car is driven sedately, nothing special or worthwhile. 2 Stars.
antp ◊ 2006-03-17 00:20	The scene was a little long for giving it only 2 stars I think... I do not remember exactly actually It is not because the car is not used for a chase that it should not get 3 stars
appassionato ◊ 2006-07-25 18:49	Really strange. Anyway 2001 model Cabrio (USA).
Adrian ◊ 2006-11-07 22:43	Can't we give credit to the E30 for the interior scenes? See my previous comment on this movie.
antp ◊ 2006-11-07 23:07	Well, as the E30 is only seen from inside I would keep it grouped with this E46... But if we have a good picture for it maybe we could add a page, even if I personally prefer to keep together cars that are supposed to be the same one. What think the other admins? -- Last edit: 2006-11-07 23:09:39
Dave84 ◊ 2013-08-16 09:18	Watched this film on TV last night. Did any one notice that another red covertible was used? When they pull up to the clothes store this time a later facelifted e46 in sport spec was used.
MisterZ ◊ 2017-07-05 21:46	2000 was first model year for E46 cabrio in North America, not 2001. -- Last edit: 2017-07-05 22:38:46
walter ◊ 2017-07-05 22:11	Weren't the white blinkers introduced in 2001?
MisterZ ◊ 2017-07-05 22:15	walter wrote Weren't the white blinkers introduced in 2001? Not that I'm aware of. Besides, most of the E46s on that list have amber indicators.
walter ◊ 2017-07-05 22:20	I renamed as 2000 the "3 Cabrio" with the amber indicators indeed, but left as 2001 the ones with the white ones for now.
MisterZ ◊ 2017-07-06 05:07	walter wrote I renamed as 2000 the "3 Cabrio" with the amber indicators indeed, but left as 2001 the ones with the white ones for now. @walter - from what I can gather, all US models had amber indicators - some kind of regulation requiring them on the front lights. Some EU models had clear indicators (the M3 I believe), so many Americans swapped them over using those parts. As such, having clear ones is no indication as to the year. -- Last edit: 2017-07-06 08:35:34
walter ◊ 2017-07-06 13:07	I don't think that so many US owners put the clear indicators on their cars Again, to me we are talking about late models.
Baube ◊ 2017-07-06 13:23	i don't think so either.. there is just too many of them.. my opinion is that they were in the option list E36 on the other hand are sometimes fitted with the clear ones while originally coming with the amber ones i know they're not 2001 but Link to "www.auto-brochures.com" and http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/BMW/3%20Series/BMW_US%20M3_2004.pdf shows them with it while being US brochures -- Last edit: 2017-07-06 13:24:57
MisterZ ◊ 2017-07-06 21:37	@Baube - the second link you provided shows EU-spec cars, not US ones. They even have German plates on them!
Baube ◊ 2017-07-06 22:03	nice mix then.. speedometers are MPH !.. can't they do a good brochure ?? .. anyway, if you scroll down to the standard/optional equipment list, it says white turn signal are standard -- Last edit: 2017-07-06 22:06:27
night cub ◊ 2017-07-06 23:31	Couple pages that I found that talk about this: Link to "www.bimmerforums.com" http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index.php?title=BMW_E46 One poster summed it up like this: "Prefacelifted coupes for USA from 99-01 regardless of sport package or not had amber corners, side markers, and rear tailights. Prefacelifted coupes from 2002-2003 if equipped with sport package in the USA had clear corners, markers, and tailights. Facelifted coupes 2004-2006 if equipped with sport package had clear corners, markers, and tailights." From what I can tell, all M3 had clear lens
Baube ◊ 2017-07-06 23:48	then this one would be 2002-2003
Baube ◊ 2017-07-08 07:44	we might have to check the sedans as well, i've seen some clear turn signal ( at least on the rear ) too
walter ◊ 2017-07-09 12:59	Years fixed.

walter ◊ 2019-09-23 19:21	The one in the (new) thumbs is a 2004 model, different from the main one.
Kartkidbut ◊ 2023-10-09 21:59	walter wrote The one in the (new) thumbs is a 2004 model, different from the main one. antp wrote I would've asked why not add a page for the newer model? ...
antp ◊ 2023-10-10 13:26	Because it is supposed to be the same one
Kartkidbut ◊ 2023-10-10 16:11	antp wrote Because it is supposed to be the same one Though, I may have a idea, which I don't know if it's a good or bad idea.. I thought about switching the main one (2002 one) with the newer model.. (including changing year to 2004) and make the 2002 one as a different model in additional thumbs... -- Last edit: 2023-10-10 16:12:13
Baube ◊ 2023-10-10 16:16	main shot looks like a toy car with little figurines in it.. -- Last edit: 2023-10-10 16:16:18
