e30 chip in an e36?

just a quick question - am i right in saying that the 318is E36 up until 1996 has the same M42 engine as the E30 318is?

I was wondering if some of the chips offered for sale on this forum would work correctly in an E36 318is or not?

Re: I think I might do this

satin paint holds that shine and no clearcoat finish is needed, whereas other flat black cars will have matt paint which has more of a chalkboard flat finish.

And yes you should definatly have it done as that car looks amazing! :cool:

Re: Car Illustrations

- EDIT - ive had to put my prices up due to the time each rendering takes, as well as other set backs (can no longer get frames so cheap, and postage and packaging costs more than I'd hoped)

A rolled A3 print is £30 plus £5 p+p

A framed A3 print is £40 plus £5 p+p
