Can I use E85 parts to fix my E86 coupe?

krusty · 08-18-2011, 01:02 PM

I am looking for parts for the front of my first Z4 coupe which got damaged at the front (need to replace bonnet, front side panels, front bumper/light shebang, and radiator goodies).

Everything from the front wheels /fan back is fine.

Can I use parts/panels from a facelift E85 roadster (that would be 2006 or later) for my coupe? If so, would it have to be the 3.0si E85, or would the smaller size engined E85s be good too?

Look up the part numbers on real oem to be sure, but most of the e85/e86 parts are the same, aside from the ones for the roofs and trunk.

easiest way to check is to go to realoem.com

look up your car first, identify the part numbers you need.

then do a cross-reference search on that specific part number, and the results will display what other models it's used in. if it shows up for both roadster & coupe, then you're good to go.

You should be fine.
But like others have said, it's easy to confirm.
