    Looking at a E36 for a parts car, What will fit E30?

    Not sure of condition yet, but I found a 1998 E36, 5 speed with a 2.8. I was thinking of getting it to do a drivetrain switch into my 87 325e. I know the motor, trans, and driveshaft will fit.

    What else could be taken off and used on the e30?
    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

            With a little bit of bondo, JB weld, and Rustoleom, I think you can manage to fit the front bumper

              Nothing will fit. That's why it's called an e36 and not an e30. The only things that interchange are from another 30 car. Same for e36s, only parts from another 36 car will fit.
