vert 325i parts fit in 325es?

[wolverine_sr24]

hello, so my 325es needs a driveshaft, suspension and body parts

so I found a 325i vert with 175k (working odometer) for sale as parts for only 1000. only thing wrong is the rear trunk is smashed.

so my question is, will the driveshaft fit if im dropping in the motor tranny and diff? im thinking about doing a full swap over and making the es a 325i.

For the driveshaft, if the vert is a 88+ you'll just need to swap to a early model CSB.

The suspension pieces will be identical.

The fenders and doors will not interchange.

really? not the front fenders?? dang i would of never guessed

vert front fenders are different from hardtops.

You can use the 325i head, intake manifold, injectors etc in your car. Would be worth it for a 2.7i stroker build along with suspension if you part out the vert specific stuff

i think I want to go with the 2.5 motor and start a build from there.. but is the 2.7 no different then the 2.9i? if not i guess ill do that. will the hood, front aluminum bumper, and the little body piece beneath the grill fix perfectly?
