Default 95 m3 full body kit fits ti??

new to the scene and i searched, i just need a definitive answer that the e36M3 front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts are all the same parts as the Ti?

in other words.. totalled M3 = Ti parts heaven?

Front bumper and side skirts only. Rear is TI specific.

B-rad is right... the ti is the same as an e36 sedan forward from the windshield... everything else is ti specific. Also, the interior is not directly interchangeable, either. You could swap front seats with no modification, but the panels, rear seats, dash, etc. would require minor to major modifications to work...

unfortunately yes, no aftermarket options either

a totaled M3 still is ti parts heaven though, relatively straight forward to swap the engine

Theft returns get listed as totaled because usually the owner has already got a replacement. Same with Hail damage and any rollover. Or if its a heavy enough to deploy air bags its likely the car will get totaled even if the damage if nothing.

Just want to clarify the M3 front bumper is non sedan/coupe/compact specific.

Australia never got the E36 M3 sedan, but one of my previous E36 sedans got fitted with the full M3 kit

another question guys.. was poking around today and talking to the neighbors. both BMWs in the driveway, the 95 ti and the 97 318i 4dr, and we were comparing them.

I'm just wondering how the sedan mirrors are the proper ones for the ti if the door is actually 6" longer than the sedan's. If I ever need to replace a door on the ti, is it ti specific or is it a coupe door?

the first ti i was looking to buy the owner told me he had a door for it to replace the damaged one on the car at the time. the replacement door was from a sedan.. :/ gonna be a hard time for him.

i know from all the discussion ecently on here about hoods that the sedan hood is the same as the ti.. fenders and all i'd assume as well.. the 318i needs a l/f fender and a hood.
