i don't think it will work only because the chasis are different between the sedan and coupe.
Going to be interesting i hope you prove me wrong
good luck

In for pics of the swap. Personally I like the Ti dash much more then the regular e36 dash. __________________  | | | | | 01-28-2009, 04:49 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 |
Hey Marvin,
Make it happen! I'd like to see how it turns out.
I know it's been done, but the ones I've seen done use sedan dashes. __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport. Not so stock anymore!....

im trying. its still in the works. so far what i've found out is that i have to use the heater core from the coupe M3 i have along with the support bars. everything lines up in the ti so far. the length looks the same and it might be like 1/4 in longer? (if that) it appears to be different from just looking at it but once its out i compared them together and it looks very probable. its going to work one way or another.
let me know if your friends or cousins still need things. __________________

Why the big deal? Sedan and coupe dashes are virtually identical. (apart from the fitment) __________________ 1996 318ti - 2000 Z3 2.3 - 2012 MINI Cooper Hatchback  | | | | | 01-28-2009, 04:04 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 144 |

sure it can... but why would you want to? I think the ti dash looks much better than the other ones... IMO, of course. Quote: Originally Posted by Marv17 So do you guys think a coupe dash can fit into the ti at all?
