m50 swap 318is help

[Under_Pressure]

Ok first I have read alot and my head hurts...

I just got a '95 525i m50 motor! which is good because I have the oil pan/pump taking care of. Ok I have seen that you can use the stock tranny "m42 5speed ""getrag 240??"" with this motor by using a 325i driveshaft. Is this true? would I need to change any other drivetrain parts like diff of flywheel etc?

2nd: I found a couple e34's and e30's at a upick by me. Im getting the body and motor plugs for the wiring and a m50 harness. Does the motor harness need to be from a manual car?

What else should I pull form those cars?

Please dont flame me I'm no guru on bmw's but I do learn quickly and will learn and help others. I have searched and got a basic idea of what is going on just need to be certain on a couple things. Thank you for your time.

The harness and engine can be either from a manual or 5 speed. Get the ECU and MAF with the motor if it's available
