I have a 94 318ic and was wondering if the pass door panel can be used from a coupe in the same year range? Anyone tried this before. What door panel are compatible with a vert? Thanks in advance.

any coupe door panel 92-99 can be used for a cabrio

the only difference is the cabrio passenger side has a different door pull
but it doesn't make any difference at all

i have 98 m3 lux coupe panels in my 95 cabrio

any coupe dorr panel 92-99 can be used for a cabrio

the only difference is the cabrio passenger side has a different door pull
but it doesn't make any difference at all

i have 98 m3 lux coupe panels in my 95 cabrio

Thanks Kosta . Nice ride BTW. :)

Which Lux ones you have? The one with the many stitching or the one with the double diagonal line and padded armrest?

Do you also have the Lux leathered and stitched doorpull handles?

the quilted ones
double diagonal lines with padded armrest and wooden handles

i send the handles to germany, they are now cf

which other panels are you referring to? the full leather ones?

+ i bought the extended leather package which does the underdash and complete center console

Ah that's even better. Someday I also want the lower dash leathered like some individuals. Where'd you get it from? I also wonder how they do the leathering on the glovebox, because from stock, the shutline of the glovebox doesn't line up with the one of the centre console. So the last strip of the glovebox isn't leathered. I wonder if they did something special or not to attach it.

I also have these cars, with accompaning doorhandles. (you can't see the handles though)

Does anyone have any idea why the convertibles have different passenger-side door pulls?

Tthe reason the driver's side doesn't have these -> the mirror switch.

And, since verts lack a graphandle that other cars have on the roof above the side windows for passengers to hold on to, it doubles as that. If it only had the stock doorpull, since it's horizontal, would be very uncomfortable.

Two questions:

1) I'm assuming this is an automatic, right? If so, is the shifter gate on this car specific to a certain year?

2) What's with the extra row of switches where the "sunglass" pocket normally resides (just below the computer). Thanks.

Clark, that's the SMG option for the 3.2 M3. It's a semi auto: normal gearbox, but with a hydrailic/electronic clutch.

The extra row of buttons is for the SMG box.

Wow... I'm so out of it... I didn't realize that the e36 was offered with SMG...

So would many more.

But the opening is too small, since the SMG stick will only goes forward and backwards (well ok you can pull it to the left in D to go into semi-auto mode) but still much less travel as a manual gearbox.

Maybe if you fit a M roadster gearshifter (which will make for the shortest shortshiter) it will work out.
