I'm getting essentially whatever I want out of an E28 535is after I help my buddy do a swap into the car. I'm curious as to what other major components I'll need after I pull everything from the E28 (he's doing a non BMW engine swap so most of the things going into the bay and back to the diff will be custom)
I'll be swapping it all into a '91 318is and i haven't managed to find much documentation on M30 swaps into non-M20 cars. If anyone has any tips on this I'd really appreciate it!
Anyways, this is what I can get out of the car
Is most/all of that usable? I know I'll have to change the driveshaft by mating it with a 325 driveshaft, but I'm just curious if all of that stuff will work in a swap.
Let me know what you guys think and feel free to point me in other directions. I know I'll have to get different motor mounts for the B34 than the B35 as well, does anyone know of people still currently making/selling B34 custom mounts for swaps?
I'd appreciate any help or insight you guys can provide! I never really considered this swap until all of this stuff fell into my lap for free. My plan is eventually to turbo it as well. I'll pull everything apart and refresh it/beef it up before I do that.
Thanks!

- M30B34 with B35 head (Unsure if converted to Motronic 1.3. Do you have to do that when you do the b35 head swap?)
- Entire wiring harness
- G260/6 Trans, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, shifter linkage.
- Driveshaft from E28 535is
- ECU (not sure of the model, i’ll double check)
- full M30B34 exhaust including headers
- E28 M30B34 rad and all the hoses
