Interchangable Parts?

So my z4M Rd was salvage but i'm debating if I want to build it back up since the damage isn't too bad with just front end and panel damage. I'm wondering if the following parts from the regular z4 are the same from the M since I've never opened up a Z before.

the following
Radiator,Raditor support, and oil cooler
bumper reinforcement
ac units.

I think there are some folks here that would be interested in your VIN

Most of all the parts are interchangeable, except the suspension components and the small number of ///M specific parts. eg, hood, front/rear bumper covers etc...

You can use RealOEM to verify the part numbers....

I thought the hood was the same aside from the creases?

Yes and no.

The size and basic shape is the same, so a ///M hood will fix on a non-///M but the latching hardware is different. ///M's have two latches and non-///M's only have the center latch.

You can remove a hood in about 30 minutes... but it is a two person job.

My 07 Si has two side latches for the hood. I think all the facelift models do so it should be a straight across swap.

My 06 3.0i also has two hinges. I agree...the face-lift are different than 03-05 ones.
