Would the axles from a 325is fit in a manual 325i?

I have a 1989 325i and am wondering if axles from a 325is would fit. I also found some aftermarket 325is axles for $60 each and was thinking they'd probably last me long enough to get new OEM axles if they'd fit.

e30 i and is axles are the same.

beware of cheap aftermarket parts. $60 sounds suspiciously cheap.

They'll fit. I bought super cheap axles from O'Reilly's about 10 years ago. They've help up fine to stock power and also have a lifetime warranty if they break.

Size wise an E30 axle is an E30 axle. You don't even swap the axles going from small case to medium case diff. Price wise I've heard the cheapos are to be avoided if you're making any kind of power.

Thanks all for the responses I think I'll try O'Reilly's cause a lifetime warranty sounds sweet. As of right now I'm not pushing much power so they should hold up fine.
