pre-or-post facelift 2002???

[michaelgvh]

I bought a 2002 330i and it has an aftermarket nose so I'm not sure if it's a pre-or-post facelift model.

How does one know for sure?

Can I tell by the VIN or anything?

Thanks.

The side markers... (original panel and not an aftermarket nose) are higher... along the seam and not down low on the quarter panel. I knew they changed the shape of the marker, but didn't realize they moved the placement as well until I did some more digging. So I guess I'm post-facelift.========================================= ================
