BMW E30 Coupé Door Panels for Race, Rally and Drift

These aluminium E30 coupe door panels replace the heavy original door trim of your BMW with a clean, light plate. Each panel is made of 1 mm thick aluminium and weighs approximately 1.2 kg. This saves weight in the doors and gives the interior a real competition look.

The panels have an aesthetic function, but they also help to stiffen laminate (glass fibre) doors. That makes them a logical choice for an E30 built for drifting, rally or the track.

Installation and delivery

How you fasten the panels is up to you. The manufacturer recommends rivets: they hold firmly, do not rattle and give a neat finish. Place the panel against the door, mark and drill the holes and rivet the panel in place. On laminate doors, the panel then immediately helps to reinforce the door.

Before drilling, check where the window mechanism, the door handle and the lock are, so that you do not drill through them. Deburr the holes in the aluminium and, if needed, use a washer on the back with thin or soft material.

Would you also like to finish the rear of the interior? A complete set for the front and rear of the BMW E30 coupe is sold separately. Feel free to ask us about the options if you want to finish the whole interior in the same style.

Why choose these E30 coupe door panels for your BMW?

The original door trim of an E30 is heavy, fragile and does not suit a car with a roll cage and bucket seats. These aluminium E30 coupe door panels are light, strong and neatly finished with powder coating. They give your E30 a real motorsport look and, on laminate doors, they also help to keep the door stiff.

Because the panels are cut on CNC machines, the shapes and cut-outs are the same on every panel. That makes fitting predictable and ensures that left and right look the same.

Frequently asked questions

Which doors are these panels for?

The set consists of one panel for the left front door and one for the right front door of the BMW E30 coupe.

Do they also fit an E30 saloon or Touring?

The manufacturer only lists them for the two-door E30 coupé. They are not intended for the saloon and the Touring.

How heavy is one panel?

The E30 coupe door panels weigh approximately 1.2 kg each and are made of 1 mm thick aluminium.

How do I fit the panels?

That is up to you. Rivets are recommended for the E30 coupe door panels.

Do the panels also work in a BMW E30 coupe with steel doors?

Yes. In a BMW E30 coupe with original steel doors, these E30 coupe door panels replace the door trim and save weight. In laminate doors, they also add to the stiffness.

Are the panels coated on both sides?

No, the E30 coupe door panels are black powder-coated on one side. That side is fitted as the visible side.
