What parts exactly do you need? If it's body work then no except for the headlights and front bumper, but if you want to swap over the engine then sure. | | | | | 05-23-2007, 07:53 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |
You want us to fill out a "wont" fit on the Ti? That would take like a whole page. | | | | | 05-23-2007, 08:02 AM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Ramona Posts: 6 |

If you mean by putting 328 engine parts in your 318 engine then no. | | | | | 05-23-2007, 02:33 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
Let's go this way: what's broken on the ti and needs replaced?
Much easier to tell you what parts from the donor car you can use. __________________

No they are not. Only the front suspension and front brakes are compatible. The rear will never in your life time be compatible. | | | | | 05-24-2007, 02:37 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
Ti racer- what is the build date of your Ti? The brakes are the same as the 328is if your ti was built after 4/98.
As for the rear suspension, the Ti uses the older e30 trailing arm suspension with seperate springs and shocks. Other e36 coupes/sedans use struts (combined shocks and springs). __________________
