    Will a front door fit inside?

    Looking to get a door from a guy to replace my dented passenger door. Can anyone confirm if a door will fit in the rear seat or trunk of a coupe? I'd rather not drive my truck since diesel is $4/gallon and it would be about a 2+ hour round trip. I measured and it appears it will be a tight fit if it does work.

    I know a door will fit in a sedan. If it doesn't work just throw a blanket round it, stick it in the trunk as best you can and tie it down.

      That may have to do. The tunnel in the floorboard makes it questionable to fit in the backseat

        Can confirm, am door.

        But seriously, yes I've done it in a coupe. It will fit in the rear seat. I took out the passenger seat (4 quick bolts) but it might not have even been necessary.

          Yes I picked up a coupe door in my 318is back in the day.

            I tried for some time to get a coupe door in the back of a coupe and was unsuccessful. It will fit in the back of a sedan pretty easily though.

              Remove dented door, drive, pick up door, bolt door on, drive home?

                I tried unsuccessfully to fit a passenger side coupe door in the back of a coupe. I was able to fit it on the floor though with the passenger seat removed and the upper rear corner of the door sticking out the window.

                  Will a hood fit?

                  How about a one-piece driveshaft?

                  Is there any part of an E30 that won't fit inside?
                  Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                      This. That's what I'd do.

                      But seriously, just remove the passenger seat.
