Door moldings

I have a 98'328i with door moldings that need to be replaced, I would like to change to the M3 as they are wider and look more in keeping.I noticed that there is a groove behind the originals that they fit into. My question is do the new wide moldings cover it completely and do they fit snug against the door panel. Does anybody have experience with this ? Thanks

yes they will cover the groove you are talking about and they will fit tight against the door.

I purchased mine from Umnitza however they were the M3 moldings..You can buy the M3 style without the slot for the badge but not really sure where you can get those at. Do you have a sedan or coupe?

When I said I don't want the M3 I meant the badge.I have a sedan,only 60k although it was not taken care of.bad road rash on hood,and under carriage a bit beaten up. Located m3 moldings,with 'BMW MOTORSPORT INTERNATIONAL,badges available from MileOneParts.com for around $200.
