BMW: Fog Lights E46

I thought I would give you all some info that might save you some money. I
am the happy owner of my 3rd M3 but have found a problem that can easily be
remedied by a $40 item.

After having replaced the lens in my fog lights due to rock cracks for the
3rd time on my 2002 I decided to apply Xpel protectors. They worked like a
charm. When I bought my 2003 I tried to buy a set before they were cracked
but Xpel said that they could not guarantee that they would fit. I waited 2
mos and tried again. When I went to apply them it was too late. One was
already cracked.

Take my advise. It is not a question of whether or not these lenses crack
but when. I'm not sure why BMW doesn't use plastic lenses but I would guess
it's the bottom line. BTW All models of the M3 E46 lights are the same.

I am not a salesman, just wish someone had told me about this problem.

I bet it wasn't cold water on the lens -- I would think that any cheapo fog lamp
maker - and there are dozens over here in Euro land - would check that little
bogey first. In the 57 years I have been on this planet I have never seen a fog
lamp or headlamps crack due to cold water on the warm glass.

What does crack or break the lens is a hit from stones, gravel, miscellaneous
road debris and kamikaze waster ousels or other strange small livestock wishing
a similar fate.........

Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!
