    E92 Interior Swap

    So I've been fucking around with some e92 interior to swap into my E30. Has anyone else done this before?

    The center console and rear console are almost a direct fit, will require some trimming I'm sure, but it's minor. There is a little gap by the ash tray but it would be easy to form a piece behind it to make it look more uniform.

    Has anyone ever tried the back seats and rear door panels? I test fit them for giggles and it's surprisingly close. Working on fitting the seat back and side bolsters.

    I'll need a 6speed shifter bezel and boot for full articulation of the shift knob. It's quite comfortable though, and the center console fits perfectly for your elbow and has a good bit of storage. Also has the USB and Aux ports. Which will come in handy soon.

    The Dash measured out the same dimensions within less than an inch. I may attempt it, idunno yet.

    Here's some pics, if anyone has any insight please fill me in!




    Without removing current panels on the e30 and without fitting the rear console.

    That's pretty amazing how close the dimensions are! Just FYI it looks like you ran over some HVAC ducting and it got stuck under your car.

        Actually, that's a super rare euro model with the washer/dryer option. The interior stuff though, that's interesting at the very least.

          Oh God no. E92 interior doesn't belong in an e30, it look out of place. The e30 interior are fine the way it is.
          Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

            I want to hate, but I'm actually really interested in how this turns out.

                      Bump for an update, especially on the center console.

                          Dash isn't going to work afterall. The entire car has been put on the back burner for now. I will revisit this soon though and give you guys an update

                              I'm thinking the center console and possibly the rear panels can be adjusted to look even oem.
                              The rear seats looks to fit close to factory.

                              Good luck. Anything is possible.
