Good morning everyone. About 2 weeks ago we were t-boned in a 99 M3 convertible. Our M3 just needed new panels(frame was fine). Her new Toyota Corolla looked like it would be totaled. The body shop ( which has a very good reputation ) did a very bad job. I'm concerned about the door. Being a convertible did BMW install extra steel for reinforcement compared to a 328 coupe. The door they put on is from a parts car. Now of course I don't trust them. Would really appreciate anyone to chime in, Marcus.
According to realoem one door fits all. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=41518230469 E36 318i Convertible E36 318is Coupe E36 323i Coupe E36 323i Convertible E36 325i Convertible E36 325is Coupe E36 328i Coupe E36 328i Convertible E36 M3 Coupe E36 M3 Convertible I think the only structurally difference is the addition of a x-brace.
