Anyone got an E36 and an E30 or E34?

If so, I need to know whether the seatbelt of an E36 will clip into the stalk of either an E30 or E34. If anyone is able to test for me it'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I've owned all 3 and have to say they look the same, not sure if they'd fit though.

Do a search on realoem.com to see if the part numbers are the same.

They're not, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't fit.

Doesn't matter either way, have worked out that I can transplant the rear ones onto the new front seat frames.

Only be a quid each from a scrapyard anyway, but you try finding an E30 in a scrapyard nowadays...

Hard enough finding a scrapyard, let alone an E30 in one!

3 I used to use regularly have all closed down over the last 12 months.

There's one about 4 miles from me that had 3 E30's Nov last years, all had had various parts removed but quite alot left, also had a J reg 318 Tourer that he was trying to sell as is, if no buyer then that would go the same way.

There is a scrap yard in b'ham that i know has 3 e30's and an e36 in if any brummies need bits.

As for the belts, i couldn't find any parts that cross referenced but i know of cars that have had generation swap seats, and you can get semi harnesses that clip into the rear belt clip.
If you can find seat belt extenders or baby seats that use rear belt clips, you'll know.

You can always contact one of the BMW breakers and ask them about parts availability.
