Which Parts will fit to F15 from E70 - Let's Help -

[geo335]

Hello fellaz,

Let's discuss as I was not able to find related thread.

I have damaged F15 from right front side, and In my country people are asking way too much for F15 parts, I know some parts are fitting without problem, sellers trying not to say true to clients aswell.

So lets move on

What I changed successfully is :

1) Rear wishbone upper one
2) Absorb shock ( front & rear )
3) rear lower control arm (hub)

What did not fit :

1) front control arm
2) front axle

--- Also I want M steering wheel "heated"
Can I find it in F30 section? will it fit ? will rear paddles and heating work ?
--- One more I have E70 M wheels/tires will they fit without spacers?

What do I have to replace here is list so guys please tell me if I can fit some from e70 as its cheaper.

I need front intake kit
Radiator kit with front panel
cooling system water hoses some pipes


please check photo for more details

what I got is body details only for now and I need front replacements to build it up


thanks for ur time

Your best bet would be diving into https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select parts catalog to check parts compatibility.
Steering wheel from F30 would fit, you will need to code the paddle shifters and make sure pin out is correct, heating option will work if you add the button, no need to be coded.You might also get new airbag with it (based on the pictures you definitely need one if you care and can afford safety restored.Check these 2 threads:

When you say E70 M wheels and tires do you mean they are M-sport wheels or they are off X5M? E70 wheels should fit F15, just measure the center bore is 74.1 MM.

I don't know how easy it is to get parts off Ebay in Georgia, but it should be your best bet since Latvia is number one used car parts supplier in Europe (and probably in the world).

If you want to go to the M sport from X-Line part number list is here:

Post #48, but it all depends which market your car was made for, US or Europe, might be some differences in parts.

Hi! You mean front and rear struts fits from e70 to f15 bolt on?

The E70 and F15 share intercoolers. I believe the rad hoses are the same as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the radiator is the same. But there may be some small differences.
