          With the header panel sitting under the headlights and corner lights, it would be very difficult to get an e34 grille to fit and those portions would look out of place as filler panels. Also, the hood line and bumper line is much different than the e34 and it wouldn't line up properly. The amount of work it would require to make it look "proper" would cost much more time and money than just getting an e34. 

          The funny thing about the e34 is it is almost exactly what an e30 and e36 would look like it they mated.

                      Hmm, I like the one with the old style grills better than the e36 center with round headlights, but they just don't jive that well.  It seemed better in my head.  I will just get Euro glass ones with city lights and no halos.

                        John, that is what I run=) City lights are far classier than ccfl's. I even retrofitted city lights into my US-Spec headlights before I purchased my current lights. I hate ccfl's to bits on any car they did not come on factory.

                          Totally agree, no offense to those with blingin halo rings on their e30s but it doesn't work for me.  I have no problem with upgrading your standard e39/e46 headlights with them though, they look great on those cars.

                                    replace the headlights with M20 intake manifolds,   

                                    Core drill a 3rd manifold, add splines, and use it as a steering wheel.

                                    also
