SpidersWeb 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2010 Considering a project for 2011, and wondering weither to use a compact shell or a regular shell. I'm aware of the differences in the rear end suspension etc etc, just curious about up front. With the engines removed, what differences (if any) are there between the front-end on a 318ti compact vs any other regular E36? Specifically any changes to the size of the engine bay, or how the steering is laid out? Hoping some wreckers on here might know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted December 14, 2010 same front end as a sedan and similer to a coupe etc. all steering and suspension parts can be swapped around . they are a lighter shell than a sedan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
