Do the interior parts from the updated Z3 fit the original pre-1999 wide body model I have does anyone know? Still want the car to look original, just tidy up parts showing more wear and tear than I would like. Things like door cards/passenger airbag dashboard cover, sun visors, seat belt retainers, handbrake and gearstick gaitors etc etc.

Any info greatly appreciated!

I don't know, but if they are the same I have many of the parts available you mentioned; airbag cover (and complete air bag if required), handbrake and gear lever gaitor (in blue) plus many other interior bits. All in excellent condition

I think most of what you have listed is the same in pre and post facelift. I know parts of the centre console are change in facelift but not the rest of the interior

Yep all good I've changed the centre console, seats and cards all fit fine. A few connectors may vary though
