Do all BMw 3 searies made in the 90's have around the same frame, therefore giving me the chance to swap stuff out of either 318 325 or 328 or any other versons? |  |  | | 05-02-2006, 01:23 AM | #2 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
within reason... | | | | | 05-02-2006, 01:23 AM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Chicago Posts: 31 |
frame/suspension-wise - fronts yes (except with the m3, where more parts are necessary to complete swaps), rears no. the ti shares the rear setup of the e30 cars and the m/z3 coupe.
body-wise - the front and doors are pulled from the sedan (or saloon, depending on location) while the rear is unique.
search through the threads, this has been covered quite a bit, and can give you plenty of information on what's been tried, what works, etc etc | | | | | 05-02-2006, 01:25 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 |
Ok thanks, i only ask because there is a 92 3 searies that has some damage on the front end, but the interior is perfect. | | | | | 05-02-2006, 01:41 AM | #5 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |

ah, my apologies
i was under the impression the doors weren't unique to the car
live and learn, as they say | | | | | 05-04-2006, 06:55 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 |
The doors are longer. They are a couple inches longer than the rest of the series. So I guess from the fender forward they are the same. __________________
