Interchangable Parts - 528e & 320i
Hi,
I just got a 1988 528e. I already have a 1982 320i that I will be getting rid of in the near future. I'm wondering if any parts from the 320i are interchangable with the 528e. I'm asking because I recently (past 6 mths) did a lot of work on my 320i & I hate to have wasted all that money. Specificaly, I am wondering about the following items: In-tank fuel pump & sender Secondary Fuel Pump Rear Springs & Shocks (I doubt these interchang - but asking) Front Springs & Strut Inserts (same as above) Ball Joints Front Wish Bones The 320i is slowing falling apart & so I'm going to donate it but, If possible, I'd like to switch out some of the $2,000 worth of parts that I just bought. Any advice would be great..............................Vern |

Both the in tank and secondary pumps are different
Struts, Shock Absorbers Ball Joints, Control Arms and Springs are all different Sorry, none of these parts are interchangeable... |

Here are a couple more items that I forgot to list in my first post:
Oxygen Sensor (2 months old) H4 Headlights (I'm pretty sure these fit any car) |

the O2 Sensor is also different. Not sure what you have to do in order to make the H4's fit...

Dang!
This 528 is in near mint condition but I want to replace the springs & struts because it's starting to look a little saggy. I might sell some of this stuff on e-bay (if I still have any of the old parts to send off with the car) |
