    mmmm...that was the year they went from preface to face.....but I am unsure of the tail lights. Lets check the wiki, shall we?

    http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index...m_2001_to_2002


    Changes from 2001 to 2002
    • NAV systems now have a widescreen 16x9 display. E46 Sedans and wagons receive a facelift: New headlight and taillight designs, side directional marker moved and re-shaped, new wider grille, new hood, new front bumpers for 325i and 330i without sport package.
    • 18" wheel option offered on the 330s
    Or....you could compare the model year tail lights on Realoem...

    I think it would depend on the production month.....but as it says above....they did change.

    If I knew why I didn't understand him....I guess...I....would...understand him?

    He wants to buy an 01...and put 02 tails on it? OK......I would just buy an 02......idk....guess I don't really see the point.....unless he already has an 01......and is wondering.....no....that can't be it.......he is looking to get an 01.

    What was the change in the tails.......LED's?

    I have depos for a 99 - 01 sedan in my 02 sedan. when my cousin owned the car he was sent the wrong ones and since the common tail light wireing issue had happend he just rewired the pre facelift ones to the new face lift wireing. I will eventually fix it but havent had time. The facelift has a second brake bulb in the main outer part of the tail light and the pre face lift has one.

    I'm gonna guess the OP dosent like the amber/red pre face lift tail lights and would rather have the red/amber/red tail lights.
