    are any m3 parts interchangeable with an 85 325?

    do any of the m3 parts fit an 85 325?

    parts i need to replace on my car are the front valance, rear valance, seats, and dash.

    i need seats more than anything right now. the ones i have right now are so janky.

    so...yeah. seats?
    side panels maybe?

    thanks

    Front and rear valence won't fit as the M3 has wider fenders. Seats will bolt right it and I think the dash is the same.

    My question is, why? Why not just get non-M parts?

        at the wrecking yard, the m parts and non-m seats are the same price. so why not?

            Established in 1988, Autobahn is San Diego's premier BMW, Porsche, Tesla, Rivian and Smart dismantler, with used parts from the 1970's to modern cars.


            they only have the seats at the moment i think. but they've had several m3's roll through.
            i have no idea where they get them from.

              Rear parcel shelf?

              I just wanted to play devil's advocate. Am I right though?
