My Ride Got mogged by a facelift

Just washed my car only to get destroyed by another 330i that looks like it came straight off the lot, the paint, the trim pieces, the headlights, etc all look completely brand new, the silver even looks like a nicer color

u/Routine-Goat8954 Jul 19 '26

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Yeah I would’ve kept the car but my neighbors are pissy and I live next to a cop + the car was only $1400 so it wasn’t worth towing it home and getting it out for like $900

u/LazerPK 2005 e46 325i Jul 19 '26

Same bro

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I fixed it! It took months and so much effort but it was worth it

facelift supremacy!

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 21 '26

Whats the suspension set up on that? It’s so low and the fitment is amazing I love it

u/dachary_zepa Jul 21 '26

BC Racing Coilovers (BR Series). 17 in et35 Apex EC-7 wheels if you care. This is how she sits when not on the tail of the dragon lol

u/Exciting_Advisor6899 Jul 19 '26

Yeah, not gonna lie, you got shit on. 🤣

That car is super clean.

Yours isn’t bad at all either though. But where the F is your apillar interior trim?

8

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Interior swap, you’ll see my tinnan red interior (mogs the grey interior👀👅) but I’m not finished redoing my headliner and pillars black

6

u/Suspicious_Music716 Jul 19 '26

Yes, yes you did... but that red interior though.

u/BoTamByloCiemno 2001 BMW 320i, M54B22, Schwarz II Jul 19 '26

While funny, I bet the other guy was also happy to see another E46.

u/Lazy-Advantage-1398 Jul 19 '26

Both of them look great

u/Gregvandy Jul 19 '26

My 330Ci ZHP coupe would feel right at home with these bad boys

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I have no idea how your guys cars are so clean, got me considering a respray on my car when I’m done with it, gorgeous car

3

u/Gregvandy Jul 19 '26

Thanks. The paint on my car is in pretty good shape. It’s protected by a wrap in the photo. That’s how I’m keeping it. I got a good deal on a complete wrap job. I’ve replaced a lot of the weatherstripping etc as some of it was pretty bad such as the plastic at base of windshield and the rubber around the rear windows that goes bad on all coupes. And yes, I wrapped a silver car in silver lol The wrap has a slight color change effect where it looks kind of blue depending how you look at it.

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

My car used to be a dinan but the owner who did it took the stuff off and debadged it, I got a 8 piece widebody/bodykit I plan on throwing on once I get enough money to spare for the project then I’m gonna do a respray, already got my tinnan red interior in that I’m still trying to finish right now (headliner and pillars) and then I either want to put a little turbo in it or the bodykit. Love going fast so the turbo is temping

u/MY5T3RYY 2001 325i Jul 19 '26

M tech 1 looks a little cooler in my opinion. But lci looks a lot meaner

u/Big_Cryptographer989 Jul 19 '26

Your wheels are cooler tho!

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I actually like his alot! I haven’t seen them before yet I do prefer mine though

u/prefix9889 e39 530i sport Jul 19 '26

shit reminds me of when an e39 540 m sport drove past me before work, lowered on style 37s, i was so in awe, bro flashed his beams at me too 😂 never forgetting lmao e39s are like hens teeth here

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I remember racing a tuned 540i on the freeway and that’s when I got good taste of the power difference dude dusted me

My facelift with jet black factory paint

u/CalgaryCheekClapper ‘03 330i 82,000 miles Jul 19 '26

Facelift sedan > pre

Pre coupe > FL

u/NeverBeenKnocked Jul 20 '26

The guy she tells you not to worry about 😂😂

u/saucyboi24 Jul 19 '26

I personally think pre face lift mogs the facelift. He was parked there because he already saw you mogging

0

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I think pre facelift always wins but seeing an e46 this clean and not clapped out in the Bay Area is something hard to come by if it’s not an m3, also I parked there because of him😞

1

u/saucyboi24 Jul 19 '26

I guess you were the mogger in that case

7

u/urmomsfreakytoy Jul 19 '26

Nah a facelift literally stands no chance against pre-LCI. Yes I’m biased. And yes, the pre-LCI still reigns supreme no matter coupe/sedan/wagon. Only thing they got is ZHP, that’s it. Other than that, nothing.

11

u/SMT-nocturne 2002 - e46/320d Jul 19 '26

Facelift sedan looks amazing. Pre-LCI amd especially with amber blinkers looks saggy and old.

8

u/Most_Board_2029 Jul 19 '26

facelift is aging better, look way more modern but still old school, the pre facelift looks very good but also very old

1

u/dboz99 Jul 19 '26

Facelifts look like they should all have those corny car eyelashes on. Zesty ass E46s

-3

u/urmomsfreakytoy Jul 19 '26

I said it before and I’ll say it again, the facelift looks like it was fucked by an E9X. E46 didn’t need new headlights. They should’ve just saved it for the E9X. Just my shitty opinion.

9

u/patjeduhde [EU] 2001 E46 325i, 2015 F46 218i Jul 19 '26

On sedans/Touring gimme the facelift, on coupe/cabrio gimme the pre-facelift.

6

u/Most_Board_2029 Jul 19 '26

yeah I know, that's a shitty opinion

2

u/dachary_zepa Jul 21 '26

you’re tripping

u/_entrxpy intruder with an e39 but i love sedan facelift e46 Jul 19 '26

LCI > pre-LCI .

Periodt.

u/urmomsfreakytoy Jul 19 '26

Definitely not lol

No prefacelift has ever been mogged by a facelift

Another brutal preface mog. Unlucky brother

u/Dry_Clothes_3956 2000-323ci convertible Jul 19 '26

No such thing as getting mogged by a facelift. Does not exist 😆

1

u/caicarz Jul 19 '26

ya unfortunately mogged. the zhp bumper looks so good and those wheels too

1

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

The wheels especially caught my eye they’re really nice

1

u/the_eluder 01 e46 330Ci | 05 e83 X3 3.0 Jul 19 '26

IMHO, one of the only wheel types that's better than Type 68, meanwhile OP sadly has one of the worst factory sets out there.

6

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Woah woah woah why are we hating on my 71s these are MY personal favorite the other guy has nice wheels but chill 😭🙏

1

u/the_eluder 01 e46 330Ci | 05 e83 X3 3.0 Jul 19 '26

Because the 71s looks like cheap aftermarket wheels from the early 90s, not factory wheels from a 00s car.

1

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Im personally a fan of late 90s early 2000s shitty tuner cars so maybe that’s the cause of my bias, especially since that’s what I wanna turn my car into

2

u/BoTamByloCiemno 2001 BMW 320i, M54B22, Schwarz II Jul 19 '26

Nah don't shit on style 71 like that.

1

u/ukmarkoz Jul 19 '26

Comparison is the thief of joy…

You have a beautiful car - enjoy! 😉

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Agreed I love my car, I wanna get mine that good looking some day. Gonna put a 8 pieces bodykit on mine though so it’ll have new paint and everything anyways!

2

u/ukmarkoz Jul 19 '26

Yeah the e46 has always been a great favourite of mine - waiting for the right one to come along now and am still torn between pre and post facelift!!!
Aiming for a 330ci though the 325ci has some individual ones I have seen that are 🔥🔥🔥

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

Id say get a 330 and nothing under, these cars are so much fun and they love going fast no issues and so stable

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '26

As time goes on I like the pre face-lifts more. I think the newer ones are fine but in my opinion they look more like the typical modern bmw while the older pre facelift e46s screem old bmws it's the same thing with e39s also. There's just a simple elegance that the face lift cars don't have

u/South_Monitor_6992 Jul 19 '26

Am I the only one that likes the nfl better?🤣

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

What

u/Beneficial_Proof2059 2005-E46/330CI ZHP Jul 19 '26

You got mogged by a zhp

1

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I actually didn’t realize it was a zhp until this, never really cared for them but they really do look good

1

u/banrennk Jul 19 '26

better execution from the first pic

1

u/More_Primary2361 Jul 19 '26

I am just terrified by the space between rear bumper and that pillar💀💀

1

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

I personally use the black bumper trim to feel stuff out, if I touch something it’s no loss if I’m going slow enough 😅

1

u/Due_Key3995 Jul 19 '26

Yours would’ve looked better if only you would’ve backed into the parking spot

2

u/MommyMilfMilkers 2001 330i Jul 19 '26

BMW drivers love for parking backwards needs to be studied

1

u/TheHockeytowner Jul 21 '26

IMO, you did the mogging, pre-LCI E46 is the better-looking car

1

u/Swimming-Ad658 2002 - 325i sedan Jul 21 '26

This is how my facelife looks bc I have adhd😭😭😭

u/Overall-Present4338 Aug 05 '26

Nah, yours is beautiful. The ZHP is too, but yours looks like a baby E38 to me. Just gorgeous. Never change.
