    e36 to e30 why not 95 parts

    why do they always state to use 96+ e36 parts as far as control arms and shocks and struts with hub assembly. why wont 95 e36 parts work?

      E36 to E30: What can be swapped?

      why cant 95 e36 control arms and shocks and hub assemblies be used on e30 cars? i always see people say to use 96+ e36 parts.what is the difference from 95 to 96?

        instrument cluster needles can be swapped into the E30. just discovered/did this today. DIY pending admin approval.

        Currently E30-less

          How much of an improvement is a standard e36 rack?

                    iirc, early e36s have tilt and it was later removed for safety reasons. I don't know if it swaps.

                        If you were to do the 5-lug conversion, would you use e30 or e36 springs?

                          do the subframes swap? Front, rear or both? Maybe with a little creativity?

                            I believe it shortens your turning radius a bit and that´s it.
                            Also, trying to resume list of what cannot be swapped, I came up with this, not sure if it´s a complete list or if 100% accurate:
                            windshield or any other glass
                            doors, hood, trunk
                            body panels, fenders
                            bumpers
                            side mirrors
                            wheels (unless you complete the 5-lug swap, duh..)
                            headlights, fog lights, tail lights
                            headliner, dash, glove box, rear seats, center console, door panels
                            instrument cluster, OBC
                            all engine related parts (unless you went 24V) with possible exceptions being accesories such as A/C, power steering, alternator, spark plugs and wires, fuel injectors
                            I´m sure I´m missing something.

                              E36 rack is also more direct than e30 rack, less turns

                                what about a 318Ti wreck? Engine, gearbox, of course. rear 5lug and front struts, rack. Interior?
