    E36 to E30: What can be swapped?

    *If there's already a thread like this by all means give me the link*

    What all can be swapped from the E36 to the E30 (and I don't mean ugly weird things like the dash ;)) What I currently know of is:

    • Window switches
    • Steering rack

    Thanks for the help :D

    Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

            radiator, COMPLETE exhaust system, trust me they are hard to come by. everything in the engine bay, you can use the front spindles, brakes, and struts for 5lug. steering rack ecu, wiring harness wheels, for 5 lug rollers or whatever

                how about thread starter arranges these alphabetically in the first post as they come up...otherwise thread failure.

                addt items:
                fuel pump (actual pump)
                window switches (lighted)
                tie rods
                control arms (only 96+ should be used in 5-lug swap)
                No more e30s for me.

                      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!
