Same for LCI versions of both, just for above they share the same ECU brands and most likely the Stereo wiring, keep in mind you need e8x parts for any guide you find

Use realoem.com for part number searching. These cars are like lego, many parts fit

The realoem site is amazing! But the fascia on the E9x looks different in mosts pictures, I can't be sure if this a kit made for this:



will fit in mine which looks like this:



Maybe it's the angle, but I can't be sure they are actually the same! But that's what I'm hoping for...

Taking another look on the photos the 3 series has a different height. The air conditioning fascia, including the seated heats (which I don't have) is taller. I believe the head unit is identical, but a retrofit kit using the entire fascia, which includes the air-conditioning and heat controls won't fit at all... :-(
