What should i say, i just need a hobby too 
No for real, when my father asked six-year-old me what car i wanted to drive when i was an adult, i pointed at a boxy looking - blue car, which you may have already guessed, was an E30.
Fast forward to my 24th birthday i already had 3 BMW's (all E46 pre fl) which i never kept for long (since they all had a lot issues, some i didn't want to fix)
So i started early 2018 in my garage to remove the engine out of my E46 Coupe and put it in my later on bought E30 316iA.
Let the pictures speak first:
As you can see, there's not much left of the original driveline
