Sorry if i sound like a noob... does the e36 have tilt steering? and if so, can the steering column be used in the e30???

Nope

How much of an improvement is a standard e36 rack?

[DmcL]

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

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?

[nickelndime]

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?

I believe so but you need to change the cover with an E30 one.

Nope, thats for e28

[SamE30e]

Howbout the differential?

Driver can be swapped into either an e30 or an e46, sometimes into an American pickup truck...

I just swapped a entire E36 AC system into mine. Ill get pics up soon.

Gotta love a larger condensor.

[transatlantic0207]

what about e46? just shock mounts?

E36 Struts can be swapped for bigger brakes and 5 lug conversion. Is it best to do the struts, control arms, and rack all together or can they be done seperately?

[ron1999]

struts for 5lug. steering rack ecu, wiring harness wheels, for 5 lug rollers

Please elaborate...
where can i find more info about this?

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------------------------------NO!!!! unless you change the complete rack






control arms (only 96+ should be used in 5-lug swap)
