E36 subframe in a E30

[SamE30e]

Will a e36 318 rear subframe fit in a e30?

I know the trailing arms swap over, but will the subframe?

[mattdk318i]

no

[mattdk318i]

or do you Mean TI

[SamE30e]

I mean a sedan.

But will a ti fit?

[mattdk318i]

no e36 subframe will fit, EXCEPT for a TI.

Well, If you're bender, I'm sure you can make it fit... after you dump tons of talent and money into it.

Or I could look harder and find a E30 subframe.

Simple question, with a complicated answer.. Kinda

Yes and no.

I found an E30 subframe but E36 ones are more readily available.

Eric Lukas tried to install a z3 subframe and his mechanic said it was 1/4 too wide - just fyi.
