E36 to E30: What can be swapped?

[HellzMindPlaya]

When you swap using e36 stuff it is generally accepted that you should use e36 M3 stuff, and then that it needs to be 96+... regular 325i struts and knuckles will give you a tire that is no where close to center in the front wheel well, that and the spring diameter of e36 325i struts is very big compared to e36 M3 springs and e30 springs (which are the same size)(use e30 springs)...

For more info check out the 5 lug swap in the suspension section... This topic is the best in my opinion

[borrihong]

i believe you can only convert the Z3 or the 3-Ti e-36's for the rear five lug

[Gadea]

mmhhhh....what about sway bars?

^huh?

[beatnic]

can a m20 e34 rear end be swapped into an e30 318i?

[Rocla]

can a m20 e34 rear end be swapped into an e30 318i?

Yes, or atleast the 520 one, with e30 rear cover.

m20 520i has the shortest ratio of them all 4,45:1

[a.b]

what about sunroof cover?

[Matt-B]

e36 325i driveshafts. If doing an m50 swap with a 240 transmission.

[nikole]

Almost everything can be swapped...just something might require more work then others...

Sorry I have nothing to offer, I clicked hoping to find something useful in this thread. It needs to be organized as its a question I've been wondering about for a while. And I think I am not alone!

E36 wiper relay
E36 gauge cluster needles
tachometer/econometer motors

I found out the last one by accident..

[NbAmTwE]

Nando, are you saying you can swap the e36 rev gauge or just the motor that operates it?

[nando]

Just the motors

...the spring diameter of e36 325i struts is very big compared to e36 M3 springs and e30 springs (which are the same size)(use e30 springs)...

so you're saying that e30 H&R Sports will work on e36 318ti rear and e36m3 fronts? (the stuff i've traded for has e36 BavAuto sports, but i think i would rather use the H&Rs)
