    Are the quarter panels from an 86 e30 different from a 91e30

    The quarter panel on my brothers car has some rot. So he was gonna cut his rear quater panel out, and put another back in. He found an 86 e30 for cheap but was unsure if the quarter panels were slightly different.
    I thought they might be because 87's quarter panels are different right? thanks

    Yes, they are different.

    E30's made before 88 had higher rear wheel arches, post-88 cars had lower ones.

    They will fit, but he will have higher wheel arches in the back..

      I'm 99% sure they are different.

      edit: thought he was talking about front fenders.

      Are the front fenders the same? no right?

              The front fenders are the same.

              And don't quote yourself trying to repeat what you said. You hadn't written that stuff yet when I answered you back.

                That's why I quoted myself, maybe you didnt see my edit in time so someone can answer that.

                Another doubt in my mind cleared up.
