Urgent question - Compact door same as coupe?

Postby notax » Wed Sep 02, 2009 9:00 pm

I'm flogging some E36 M3 mirrors from the new rally car on fleabay and keep being asked if they are from a 2 or 4 door. I guess compact mirrors would be same as coupe not 4 dooor? Need to answer questions soon! Thanks.

4 door mirrors, but the doors are different.

Thanks. I just googled the numbers on the back of the mirrors (re 81444720 and re 32244) and found this said E36 compact / coupe mirror on a German site? Mirrors are attracting a fair bit of interest so keen not to misslead - are you sure about 4 door fitting? (I guess you are!)

Yes I'm sure. :D

Coupe/cabriolet mirrors don't fit compacts, saloon/touring mirrors do.

The actual doors are unique to compacts, tho.

It's the backing/mounting plates that are different with OE M3 mirrors.

Are the mirrors that you're selling OE M3 and complete with backing plates? If so, they're worth a good few quid. 8)

If they aren't OE mirrors, they're hardly worth the ebay fees. (£20 if you're lucky.)

Mirrors sold for £56 8) however I have just sold eighteen 15 x 7 alloys and four tyres for £30!!!

Also selling wings and bonnet from the new car on fleabay - are these the same as saloon E36? If so I may have a buyer...

Any help appreciated!

£56 for a pair of OE M3 mirrors? :(

IIRC I got £200ish for the last pair I sold. :shock: (couple of years ago, mind.)

AFAIK bonnet & wings are the same as the saloon. (Real OEM will confirm. :wink:)
