I have a 1995 bmw 325is that needs a few interior pieces and wheels,and I found this other 325is that's identical for $300 that I was gonna take the parts from. but it's 1993.do the years matter?will the parts still fit in my 1995?
Thanks for the help!

All parts from Coupe 1 should fit into Coupe 2, and vice versa. One thing that happens is that the door panels will have airbags in later years that the early cars do not have. The panels still fit, but you have to use two so that they match. In your case, the changes from '93 to '95 are of no consequence.

Interior and wheels should all be compatible between 1993 and 1995 models. I like the early model e36s that did not have those reflective indicators on the front fender, it looks cleaner.

I like the turn indicators on the fender. They let the idiot in my blind spot that I'm planning on running them off of the road. I suppose I should just sneak up on them...

Alright cool thanks guys! and I think it looks slightly sharper with the indicators even for how small they are
