another e36 question

[mattrs]

I know wrong site but I am sure one of you will know this off the top of the head,

On a compact the doors have frames (if that makes sense) So I am assuming they are the same (and therefore so is the door card/trim) as the front 4 door ones????

[DanThe]

Nope, different doors, different cards

[mattrs]

So there unique to compacts


Thats gonna make sourcing an offside black one considerably more difficult

[Simon13]

no it won't there are millions in the scrappy

[mattrs]

I guess so but surely far fewer than saloons or coupes!?

[DanThe]

Might have one, will let you know tomorrow

[Simon13]

not where i go always a large number along with e36 saloons. then coupes and cabs. You try finding e36 touring bits. They're never in the breakers yards, i'm guessing they're mainly on the roads still.

[mattrs]

cheers Dan, where do you go Si?

[Simon13]

aldershot and wokingham - this one is big, rammed with BMW's but they charge. They get all sorts in there e28's 635CSI, the odd X5, 1 series and e90's

[mattrs]

I am guessing its one of these new types where you wait at the counter and they go and get the bits!?

[Simon13]

no, but the cars are racked up on the car trees 5 high. You ask the guys on the forks to drop um down and off you go, simples. They have just introduced high vis jackets

If it helps in the future, with E36 compacts, everything from bumper to A post is identical to saloon/touring, with exception of headlights, they take a different bulb. Everything from A post back is compact specific. That is what I was told anyway when I had mine.
