    New member with a question...

    Hi guys,

    first off, I used to own a 2000 Acura TL, spent about 5000 dollars in modifications, came to the realization that this car is a sedan meant to please modest drivers, so I started searching for a pure driver's car...and realized that the E36 M3 was one of my dream cars within reach, so I have sold the TL for 18K and will be picking up my 1998 Tit. Silver M3/2 5spd. with dove grey int. with HK sound system, side airbag option, and power seats, the only option not in the car is I believe heated seats...the thing also has the updated 3 spoke steering wheel and was a 1 owner Arizona car which has not seen any snow and has only 53K miles on it, was never in any accident with no repaints and no modifications whatsoever, also has M Contours for wheels...I am soo damn happy...btw I will be flying out tomorrow to pick up the car and driving it back home...

    Anyways I have a question, my first modification is going to be euro clears all around, I have already bought some clear front corners and sidemarkers, but I want the oem euro clear tails made by ecc, but some have 7 prongs or 8 prongs for the main connector plug...which one do I need for my 98 coupe?

    Thanks!

    Den

    I would call circle BMW and tell them what car you have. They will hook you up with the OEMs for the best price around: $106 per side.

    It depends whether you have an OBC (on board computer?). THis has a detector for lights going out, and I think it has an additional prong. BUt I'm not 100 percent certain.
