86-88 = Series 4
89-92 = Series 5

Far from all the parts are interchangeable between series. You also have to consider the trim model (a.k.a turbo, convertible, base, etc.).

i don't see why not. just remain in the same series... s4 w/ s4, s5 w/ s5. some parts are interchangeable but save yourself the time and headaches and find a same series parts car.

What does "all my parts" mean? Some parts will swap cross series, some will not. In general it's a pain to swap an engine or an electrical part cross series, but many of the other parts (trim, body, etc.) will swap.

What are your plans with swapping. Are you talking about engine wise?

Basically, most suspension and drivetrain will swap. Most electronics, fuel injection, etc. will not swap.
