Are there any parts that are interchangeable between an F30 and an M2?

I currently have a 2014 335xi and I've already the front grille, rear diffuser, and the m performance manual shift knob installed on my car.

I'm pretty sure the rear diffuser is completely different because of the bumper shape, but will the mp shift knob fit on the M2? What about the front grilles?

I'm thinking of picking up an M2 and would like to know which parts I can reuse

Thanks!

The knob will fit but the other parts will definitely not.

As I've learned today, the entire dashboard from the F30/M3/M4 ... it seems to fit

What are you planning on doing to your interior?

Check this car in Robin's thread:

The dashboard appears to be taken from the F30/M... including the instrument cluster from the M3/M4.

I'm surprised it fits into the F22 cabin, I thought it would be too wide?

We also know that M4 Coupe seats are practically plug and play in the M2.

Depending how committed one is, you could find a wrecked M4, buy the interior bits and fit them.

As it stands I'm ok with the M2 interior, perhaps one day I'll retrofit the M4 seats, but I do find the stock seats great (comfortable).

This is a top class piece of recon I suspect the M4 seats would be lovely as I think the seats really let the car down. That being said, the M4 seat are probably weigh Twice as much.

I've got the MPerf Shift knob and boot from my F30, I think I'm just going to swap it over to my M2 when I get it, but it's going to suck that everything has the blue stitching but my shift knob boot will have the white stitching.

I'm too cheap to buy the M2 version of the knob just for the blue stitching. lol
