It is possible, you can pick them up on ebay cheap sometimes.

They look good on the Z4 just don't think they will go with the lines of the E30...

i was told no side repeaters is an mot failure unless your car was registered before a certain date . i cant remember the date but it was long before my e30 was born.

i have seen them on an E36 but can seem them fitting in on the e30 due to the boxy lines of the e30, but each to there own

it's a gimmick on the z4, and would totally spoil the retro lines of an e30.

personally i find the standard e30 side repeater to be too big for the car so i fitted crystal clear e46 repeaters instead. (about the only fault i can pick with e30 styling i might add) so fitting something even bigger and bulkier would have to be a big no no for me im afraid

its your car however and it wouldnt be interesting if we all thought the same, plus we`d all be scrapping over the same woman :roll:

sorry chaps, not a direct fit by any means, i was replacing both wings as part of my rebuild so i ordered early wings with no hole from the dealers and cut holes to fit the e46 ones. they look good though, nice and subtle
