i just got a 2001 silver 325 ci. my first bimmer. and i love it. before i had a 94 300zx, all fixed up. but recently totaled it. now i was a memeber of a z forum, and new alot abou the car. but i donr know anything about this car. so i had a few q's

what type of problems should i look out for, or regular things i should do?
scheduled mnt. that is very impt?
what are the best places to get aftermarket parts for this car? antthing, from cleared lights, performance parts, interior.(real carbon fiber trim) body kits. etc. ?
theres alot id like to do to it(like my z) but want to know the best stuff. is ebay an ok, place to get parts?
what are these angel eyes i keep seeing?
any cleared corners that are as clear as the headlights themselves?
any other things i should know or you would like to tell/teach would be great. like i said new to the bimmer thing. but i like it.

talk to our forum sponsor for all your aftermarket needs and I believe there is a thread going around here somewhere that is called e46 tips and tricks check that out.

Oh and welcome to the forum I am a former nissan guy also

for the clear sides check out ebay. it's cheap and my new ones were higher quality than oem! as for front corners and tails, i'd stay away from ebay.

stay away from fake knock off clears, they are made in tawian and dont fit properly, hit up a PM at the sponsor, he can get u some nice deals and welcome

what about these angel eyes? any one have them. i seen them on that site for 265. but on ebay for 75. whats the difference? also intake there was 650? as opposed to 100 on ebay? now $650 is alot for intake. who makes the best, or is there others for cheaper but just as good.
