bmw coupe

[wilkesneil]

just purchased a '97 323 coupe and in need of a few body panels.

as its my 1st bmw project due to being a vag fan i are stuck on sourcing a bonnet and bootlid due to bodged repair or rust in the past.

will these 2 parts fit from the cabs, compacts and saloons as some people that are breaking them say yes and the next will say no.

also does any1 know any good forums for beemas

Bimmaforum.co.uk, I'm sure the bonnet / boot will fit, should you need bits / spares for this car, Quarry motors Sheffield, good service.

You'll need to get proper coupe bits for those, the body panels are different to the saloon.

The only parts the same (or would fit) are the bumpers and grill.

Oh, the convertible front body panels will fit a coupe as the convertible is based on a coupe, but not any parts compact or saloon.

I'm not sure about a convertible boot on a coupe though.
