Are all 320i relays/fuses compatible with others?

Need technical Q/A then you're in the right place

I have the fusebox out of my G reg 1990 Touring 320i and presumed i could keep them as spares for my H reg 320i SE (1990 also i think)

I saw an intensive wash relay fetch Ԛ£22 quid on eBay the other day! so worth keeping if they are expensive to replace! but if they arent compatible then definately worth selling!


One set of relays is black the other set is orange (think the touring ones are orange)

Most of the relays are ordinary 4 terminal car relays. Fog light relay is a bit special, in that it contains a blocking diode.
The wiper control module is not a relay, although it contains relays. The one for cars with intensive wash is different from ordinary E30s, so might have increased rarity value.

Thanks for your answer Brian (and thanks for moving it for me! I hold my hands up I posted it in the wrong section!)

Wasn't me that moved it! Didn't notice it was in the wrong place, if it was.
