      I am correct in assuming the e36 headliner is a direct replacement right?

      It's much more cooshy for da broads when they bounce a little too high.

          don't forget the carpet from a 4 door e36 is direct swap into any e30 except preface lift ones. oh and the rear deck is too.

              If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

                5spd you can trim some from the back (about 1 foot) and sew it to the front. Floor mats cover the stitching, but I did mine in ///M colored thread, so it looks great.

                    I just finished installing the e36 doors on my e30, only issue i had was the crappy e36 door card. So I just swapped the card for the old e30 card, direct fit for everything go figure.

                        As you can see from my avatar...M3 wheels bolt right up.

                        And thats an E36 hood and I did the reversal mod everyone was talking about.

                            The a/c vents swap over and are a nice upgrade. No more drooping vents for this guy!

                              You will need the Heads-Up Display control panel and wiring loom off of a 2009-2010 740iL in order to wire in that light bulb for the e36 trunk lid. I think I saw a DIY on 7seriesballer forum.
