I have seen M3 two door kits being sold, but does anyone know if they fit??? or is the body different??? | | | 06-02-2008, 01:19 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | Here's the realoem.com diagram with the part number for the entire kit. Part # 51132267003. http://tischerbmw.net/ Is the best price I can find right now. $163.20 for the kit. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...88&hg=51&fg=95 I think the 318ti parts for the most part are unique, so a 2 door kit will not fit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong | | | 06-02-2008, 02:23 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | the moldings are the same for 2 doors and ti's __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-02-2008, 03:39 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Quote: Originally Posted by thesk8nmidget the moldings are the same for 2 doors and ti's | The door moldings will be the same as a 2 door.

Do all sport models come with these moldings? I was looking at a 97 Sport a while ago and it had these moldings and Im 98% sure that the PO didnt put them on. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 06-03-2008, 06:11 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | yes all sports besides 95's __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-09-2010, 06:18 AM | #12 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: vancouver WA Posts: 12 | I just looked up the door moldings on the DDM website and it says that it will fit the 318ti (96-98)....Im just wondering if they give you specific ones or they just assume that they will fit...? | | | 06-09-2010, 06:31 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Quote: We do not currently offer these moldings for BMW E36 ti, OEM only. | That's on DDMs page. The thing at the bottom is wrong. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 06-09-2010, 09:15 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Long Beach, SoCal Posts: 373 | Bavauto I know sells the entire kit for the ti, if tischer doesnt have them. Thats a great price for brand new techies! Bavauto charges around 190$. Finding a used kit in good cond is hard to find. some may have rust or been tweeked from pulling them off. If your a perfectionist, used ones will not mount tight! FYI...... And confirmed, fronts=sedan......doors=coupe? I dont think so, sedans may fit. Rear's are def ti/compact specific. M-tech ti mouldings have different part#'s from every other e36. Good Luck! __________________ 1998'SportR.I.P. 1995 Sport AlpineIII | | | 06-10-2010, 04:26 PM | #15 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: vancouver WA Posts: 12 | Moldings Thanks that's what i wanted to know.... I took a tape measure to the fender moldings off a 97 4door M3 and and my stock ti, and they look like they will fit, they are both 8 1/2 inches long. I hope this will help.... | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
