3 Series Front End Queries

[jockey]

Hi there, I recently (today) pranged the front end of my 1997 m3 evo into the back of a citroen c3, becouse their bumpers sit around bk height it slightly scratched the bumper but took the bonnet and n/s wing along with rad and plastics. My question is that which if any of the 3 series bonnets or wings fit my model.

I believe that there is one type of bonnet for the saloon and touring and a slightly different one for the coupe and convertible.

thx for the reply

I've found a 318i with same colour bonnet ("like rocking horse st" boston green met) and wondered if the wings and the grille plate are the same size?

If you have a coupe and the 318i is a coupe then it'll be fine.

Having said that, I don't think they did a 318i coupe, only the iS so in that case if they're both saloons then you're fine.

Although if you've got a cabriolet then you'll need a cabriolet.

Clear as mud?!?!

found 318i brand new "coupe" parts from part finder 2 wings and bonnet primered £180 delivered to the door

Are they genuine parts or pattern? Pattern wings tend to be st.

That's how i think it works, Had a hard time finding a coupe bonnet for reasonable money, Gave up looking for a techno violet one.

Just ha d a look int the classifieds and found this http://pistonheads.com/sales/727553.htm might be of use and very cheap, most breakers I spoke to wanted around £100 for a second hand bonnet.
