E46 x brace

[halek]

Does anyone know if a cross brace from a E46 will fit on a E36?
The guy who's selling it seems to think it will but I need to be sure before shelling out.
cheers.

cheers.I highly doubt it since I have not read anything before.
When you look up
Vehicle Trim --> Various Body Parts a cross brace is only shown for the E36 convertible, nothing for an E46 convertible. Either I'm not looking in the right place or it doesn't exist.

I cant find anything on a E46 brace either & he doesn't know it's part#.
It sure as hell looks like a E36 fitment from the pic though,dont you think?
