    318i Drum to disc?

    Could i swap some four lug disc brakes from a later 3 Series onto a 318i with drum brakes? What parts would be involved?

    If you mean later as in from another e30, yes. Get complete trailing arms. I did this, as many others on my 318i

          E brake cables, trailing arms, calipers, brake lines. Don't forget the front as well, later cars have wider vented discs up front so front rotors and calipers are needed. Would be a good idea to upgrade the master cylinder as well, since the bias will be off. Bias valves between drum and disc cars are the same.
