E30 Convertible M3 Door Sills

[BadfishTX]

Does anybody know a part number for these? Or know where you can find a pair? My understanding is the Coupe sills will not fit the Convertible.

I don't see why not.

verts and coupes can run the same "outer sill plate"

My understanding is the Coupe sills will not fit the Convertible.

You are right,, if the car is E30 non M3,, not sure with the M3

and why ??

because thie sills is a LOT higher on convertebles vs others,, and thats a reason,, because of the structure of the car ,, no roof that takes the flex-force of the car

He is talking about the outer sill. the inner sill doesnt not swap between vert and coupe/M3

however the outer sill, the part with the M on it 100% does swap between the cars. Go to real OEM and you'll see the part #s patch. and i know first hand owning a coupe, convertible and an M3.
