I'm selling my leather M3 interior and have had a lot of interest from the
sport and 2 door owners!

Is the interior a straight swap?

:?

Also does the roof trim from a normal E30 fit an E30 M3? Anyone know?

Which part mate...towards the rear and down the rear C pillars is different, the front part where the sunvisors are mounted is the same.

It sure is! Well spotted :D

It wasn't as "immaculate" as described in the ad and I reckon I paid a bit too much for it, but what the hell, it's a genuine M3 and that's what I like about it!

Yes, that's the one. Did you get genuine alpinas off him? He mentioned that he gets them now and again - I'd be interested as long as he doesn't want too much for them :roll:

TBH I haven't had it all that long and it's been in the bodyshop for the last week - I'm getting back next week though, so you probably see it around soon :D

Psychochild187,

I prevously fitted an interior from a sport to a four door that I used to have, not sure about the M3 one though - I think it would fit, but obviously you wouldn't have the matching rear door cards.

It does fit, but they don't have the slight cutoffs in the corners of the bench.

The full trim as in from the sunroof back to the rear window?

The headlining is different I'm afraid, the only part they share is the black moulded cover that holds the sunvisors and check panel.
