I need to pick up two passenger side doors for my 4 door E30. Does anyone know if they will fit inside the car to bring them home. I thinking of putting the rear door in the boot and the front door on the back seat. But will they fit?

I don't think you'll get a door in the boot.

You could take out the front passenger seat before you leave and you'll have loads of room winkeye

Go early enough, so its light when you get there! Take a few tools, knock out the pins holding on your doors, fit new ones......Drive off! winkeye

prob not

i managed to get 2 mistubishi galant doors (1 front 1 back) in my 2dr e30, and the back one DID go in the boot. but getting the front one inside the car was the problem, and my 2dr has bigger door openings than your 4dr.

swap them there, not too difficult! :D

you can fit one inside the car and one in the boot, but you cant close the boot so youll have to bring a rope or string of some sort to fasten the bootlid. I have actually done this :D
