More body gap question

2045 · 09-12-2023, 12:27 AM

Can any current owner tell me if this gap is normal? It’s the front bumper meets the hood next to the headlight. Left and right gaps are comparably consistent. I just find odd to have gap that big showing the tabs under.

I suggest you get psychiatric help.

Looks like it might be a bad blinker fluid reservoir. Unfortunately car’s probably a total loss

normal. you just notice it because of the g87 / f87 design language.

the e46 hood had the grills integrated.

I asked a very simple and direct question seeking confirmation from other owners if what’s on my car is normal. Nothing was out of the line. If you can’t help I suggest you be quiet.

Thank you for those who helped. Appreciate your input.

You’re right mate, my bad. Those panels are misaligned. I suggest shipping your car back to Mexico ASAP.
