Have you never seen even a picture of these cars? First off, there are no rear doors on any E46 M3. The backseats are completely different! I'm pretty sure the lateral panels on either side in the rear are closer in too, because they probably contain some moving parts for the top. There might be others too. For example, I'm pretty sure the trunk is different; but that's not part of the interior.

May I ask why you want to know? Are you thinking of trying to swap them?

the 3 pieces on the dash trim are the same. the door panels and door armrest/trim are the same.

rear quarter panels are not, rear seats and armrests are not. pretty sure the front shifter trim piece is slightly different also.
and you already know the front seats are not.

Haha well put! Sorry about that. As the others have said, The panels are different. If you look up a picture of both interiors, you'll see that the 'vert has a much different and narrower rear seat.
