BMW E36 Coupe Rear Side Panels, Aluminium

These rear E36 Coupe door panels are lightweight aluminium side panels for the rear side walls of the interior, next to the rear seat. They replace the original trim and weigh approximately 0.8 kg each. They give a stripped interior a clean finish.

Besides their looks, they have a practical use: they keep smoke and dust from the rear wheel arches out of the cabin. You notice that straight away after a drift session with lots of tyre smoke.

Installation and delivery

You choose how to fix the E36 Coupe door panels. Pop rivets are the recommended method: they weigh little and hold firmly. First remove the original side trim, hold the panel in place and mark the fixing points. Pre-drill the holes, deburr them and rivet the panel in place.

If you really want to keep the smoke and dust out, also seal any open holes in the wheel arches before you fit the panels. The panels for the front doors and a complete front and rear set are available separately.

You will find all panels in our aluminium door panels category. For the front doors there is the E36 Coupe front door panels set.

No more tyre smoke in the cabin, and an interior that looks finished.

Why choose these rear E36 Coupe door panels?

If you strip an E36 Coupe for drifting or rallying, you are often left with bare walls at the rear with open passages to the wheel arches. As a result, smoke and dust get in on every run. These panels made of 1 mm aluminium close that off neatly, weigh next to nothing and look tidy. Together with the front panels, they make up a complete aluminium interior.

The E36 Coupe door panels are powder-coated on one side. Fit them with that side visible and you get a neat, even finish that is easy to keep clean. With 1 mm material, they stay thin and light.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly do these panels go?

The E36 Coupe door panels go on the rear side walls of the interior, next to the rear seat. An E36 Coupe has no rear doors.

How much does one panel weigh?

Each of these E36 Coupe door panels weighs approximately 0.8 kg.

Why do they keep smoke out?

They cover the rear side walls, so smoke and dust from the wheel arches can no longer get freely into the cabin.

How do I fit the E36 Coupe door panels?

That is up to you, but pop rivets are recommended.

Can I combine them with a roll cage?

That depends on the cage. If tubes or mounting plates run along the side wall, a panel may need to be modified locally. So do a dry fit first before you start drilling.

Are there also panels for the front doors?

Yes, they can be ordered separately, as can a complete front and rear set.
