I'm soon expecting delivery of my wife's Silver Gray Metallic sedan and want to get the clear lights. Don't know which way to go on the front turn signals - black housing or titanium housing?

Hey, they made the two versions, silver and black housing, to match your headlight housings. I believe all zhps have black headlight housing, so the black corner lens housing is the logical choice. The titanium lenses were "made for" the 330i premiums and sports with titanium headlight inserts, however if you like the titanium corner lenses there's no problem with putting them in your car.

This is a zhp with black headlight inserts and the titanium corners, photo is jpsweet's car of E46fanatics

This is GeoMystic's jaw dropping Mystic Blue zhp sedan. He changed his headlight housings to titanium then went with the titanium housing:

And here is my car with the original black headlight housing and black corners:

Let me know if this is too much!

I chose OE titanium;I like the way they coordinate with clear sidemarkers. There's enough black on the front of the car.

That looks like stock ride height....must be the grass.

With coilovers, you can tuck tire inside the front and rear fenders pretty easily.
