m3 moldings for ti?
 

where might one find m3 door moldings that fit a 318ti? these parts for the coupes and sedans abound, but i cant find one for the ti, which shares the front doors with the sedan. do the rears match up as well? if not what did those of you with fresh m moldings do?

they are made specifically for the ti

The ti does not share the doors with a sedan. Think about it, coupes, verts, sedans and compacts all have the same wheelbase. That's why sideskirts are one size fits all. Sedans have 4 doors, therefore the doors are shorter and the front seats don't tilt forward. Coupe, vert and compact doors are really close in length, but the coupes and verts don't have a frame around the window like the compact doors do.

The only things similar to any other e36 on a ti is the fact that everything from the a-pillar forward is the same as a sedan.

thanks for the input!

180 for the door trim damn!

It's not awful, they are really nice

That's way too much is there a site to buy some like ddm or something?

That's where I got mine, I dont know of another source

I was stoked to pay $180.00 for mine. That blocky trim just doesn't cut it. Money well spent.

The OEM set is available from Tischer for less... $160 here;

It's where I got mine, and the OE quality is worth it. The aftermarket stuff from DDM (which I bought for my M3, as they don't make a set for the ti) was poor quality and didn't want to stay in place, always popped off...
You're welcome...

Agreed, bmws aren't exactly known for having cheap OEM parts lol

You could always carve some out of wood:chuckel:

I like the look of lightly stained Oak trim package. :wink:
