Side Molding

[jdehaan]

Does anyone have the right side M3 side moldings off either an E36 M3, a TI with the sport package, or a club sport for sale? I have the left side, but the right was destroyed in the accident which lead to my getting the M3 as a parts car.

I am quite sure the side mouldings of the ti are different from the M3 ones.

They are not too expensive, so you may be better off getting them at the dealer...

Yes I want the thick black strip that says //M on it. I have thick strips on the rear, and front ends but the middle on both sides is thin. Thanks for the info.

Does the dealer sell the Motorsport badge for the moldings?

Are you sure you can swap them like that? Clips and fittment might be different.

Anyone done this?

$55 at my dealer. Really hard to find on the net. I have found one at $60, but forget where. I am going back to the dealer in a couple of days to buy one.

Bavauto have the moulding for 180. Have seen it online for 110 but I think it was the M3 version. The door strips are longer to match the longer door, longest door of the E36s, supposed to be. 3 inches longer is going around in my head, don't know if it's right though.

So has anyone actually removed the thin moldings and put the thick moldings on?

Me too -
They use different clips

Then some a$$ hole stole them off my car & i had to buy a complete new set

FYI - a complete set were sold on ebay for £67 on monday night (about $120 ???)

I read some place else on the interweb (can't remember exactly where)
- that the Front wing & door mouldings are the same ones for the Saloon & touring (not coupe & conv.) - the ony unique bits are the rear 3/4 short stubby mouldings.

I am planning on replacing the thin molding with the M Tech molding.

How does one remove the old molding? Just pull it off?

Any tips for the install?

Slip something under the molding and pull it off, very easy.
