In Reply to: Stupid questions, can someone answer them? (More) posted by Jon on February 20, 2000 at 15:58:10:

i'm 99% sure there isn't anything preventing you from putting on the same wheel/tire combination on a 325/8 as an M3. Most of the differences lie in suspension geometry, but still, you can fit 18x8.5 in front and 18x9.5 in back on both m3's and 325/8's. 19's too will 'fit' but it is too big.

: I noticed on the board that people's been saying that the M3 rear diffuser won't fit the stock 325is rear bumper. But aren't most of the E36 parts interchangable? If I could fit a set of M3 door mouldings and an M3 instrument cluster on my 325is, why wouldn't the M3 rear diffuser fit my car? What gives?
: Also, I've heard that M3s are able to wear wider tires than 325/328s, how come? Does it really come with different (wider) body panels? Or there's just something inherently different between M3s and other 6 cylinder E36s.
: Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion.

: Jon
