If you don't like the Facelift front end (coupe or sedan) it's because you're jelly.
The only car that would look worse as a facelift is the M3. Conveniently they never made it that way. The pre-facelift sedan is the most dated looking of all E46s, thanks to the down-turned corner lenses. |

IMO facelift coupes look way more feminine. With the pre, i think it's just a much more aggressive look.

It's all personal opinion, but there are many pre-facelift coupes on here that have been modded and look awesome. Personally, I looked for a long time for my replacement 2002.
For the money I would do some maintenance and get some wheels. Maybe an M-tech bumper? Sometimes I want one but I like the original one, too. Do what you want but I think you could do a lot more for a lot less than face lifting it.

How would a facelift M3 look different from your car, minus the side gills? |

I think facelifted sedans look great! Better than prefacelift sedans. But I hate facelift coupes the headlights are ugly.

I actually might prefer a pre-facelift coupe to the facelift. Don't get me wrong, the facelift coupe is definitely more modern and the lines flow better, but I don't think pre-facelift coupes look half bad. Especially with an M-Tech II kit. Sedans are another story. Pre-facelift sedans look very dated.

Yes, it's been done. I've seen it done to an M3. That's one expensive facelift, those headlights are a grand alone, and if you don't want an annoying error light, you'll need a new LCM.
