Yes it will fit without any problems. If its the same year model.

Um, I'm not so sure about that. I mean it would make sense however the body width of the coupe is an inch wider than the sedan. Just double check the measurments, you should be ok.

The glove box will not fit from IS in to I. The IS has a shorter dash. I just found out.

Thanks alot man, highly appreciated.

Shure no problem. The dash is a lot shorter than in 325i so you would have problems. What problem do you have with the Glove Box when you are trying to replace it?

 

[bmwperson]

The locking mechanism doesnt work properly, it locks buy there is a gap between the dash and the door.

 

[BigEarl325is]

Yeah, all of our glove boxes are like that.

Yeah I know about the gap but its not that big of a problem. There is also a way you can adjust the glove box door but I tryed to do that and didn't really help. but my door are very good. You can try play with it and with the lock and you might get it in to better position.

It was bothering me too

Yaaa, i dont like when my car looks like yunk and the bastard who owned it before didnt do a good job, altho he didnt drive it much, so if i clean it up and fix all the little things i should have a nice car. PS I want to try adjusting the lock how do i do that?

I remember a write up on how to fix that with 3 or 2 screws, if I find it, I'll post the link.

There are 2 screws on the bottom next to the hinges. try to adjust those. and sometimes even help when you put the glove box down and put it in a part and build it again from scratch. Remove the door and than put it back together. I Bought my 325i and it was in perfect condition but even that I changed many new plastics and parts worth of probably $4000. I had the whole dash in a part and cleaned every little piece and put it back together.

But some thing you just can't fix it because it is from the factory like that.

How big is your gap on the glove box door?

Do you have some picture of your BMW?
