Would a valance off an m3 rear sport bumper fit on a ti m-tech sport bumper?

Nope.

No worries man, you've been around BMW's long enough, it won't be long before you know the ti inside and out. Most of my knowledge comes from people on this board or from ripping my own car apart. In the case of the diffusor, member Jaimito79 tried to fit an M3 diffusor on his ti and said the contour was completely different. When I had my M3 donor parked next to my ti, it looked like the M3's diffusor had more curve to it.

glad to learn this the easy way rather than the hard way, i grew up on bmws my dad and i used to tool around on the '87 535i that they bought b4 i was born, and when it got too tired, we bought a ti for me to drive. So far we've done a heck of a lot of work on it and ive learned a lot, and ive become so attached to my ti in both the fact that it is one beautiful machine, and all the work we've done/bonding time. i plan on keeping for as long as i can.

Well looking at the list of cars in your signature, I can tell you that you're right at home here and you'll be an asset to the 318ti community. As you've probably already learned that by design, the ti is kind of a mish mosh of e30, Z3 and e36. Heck, mine even has e24 parts on it, lol. Back when I was in the Navy, one of my buddies had an e28 that was a true Frankenbimmer. Thing was so wacky, it was held together with F-14 parts and fasteners. We used to joke and say it was half BMW and half Grumman.

lol, yeah, i have an e24 rear diff in my car, my old lsd (from a clubsport) had some issues so we swapped it out with an e24 lsd and e30 flanges + axles. and an e28 will run forever if you let it.
