What Z3 parts are good for an E30?

[91Saleen#15]

'Got a chance to buy a rolled Z3. What parts can I use from it to build an E30. It's a 98 with a 1.9 liter engine.

off the top of my head, and just based on reading not actual personal experience, search for specifics:

shifter
rear end (for five lug swap)
steering rack
engine most likely, not sure which engine came in the z3
finned diff cover, possibly entire diff, not sure

If I remember correctly, it should be a m42 engine in the Z3.

the rear arms and suspension. m44 engine.

get the antenna base too. And then do this to your car (click me). Don't mind me for posting to another forum.

^^ Yeah, I did that, and have the Z3 rack. Love the antenna, have yet to install the rack.. Summer school is over, so I should be able to get back to it finally....

just offer to buy the rack. How many miles?

I believe you can use the rear parts for a 5 lug conversion, and the brakes should fit on with that too.

shock mounts hehe..

wouldn't the front 5 lug work as well??
