I have a stock '87 325is that is in need of an overhaul. The engine and transmission both work well, however, bushings, mounts, shift linkages, etc. are completely dried out since the car sat in the hot Oklahoma sun for a while.
At some point, I will want to do a S54 conversion, but until then are there things I can purchase that will work with both? Control arms, engine mounts, trans mounts, etc. I don't want to buy a bunch of new parts for the stock car only to have to buy all new components when I do the switch in a few years.
According to my research, I can likely answer my own questions with a resounding NO, but did want to check with the forum. I'd like to just "do it!" but that's not in the cards at the moment.
