What do you mean by interior? I have heard of people putting the E36 M3 front seats in their E30's (I think there are some on the zone) but I don't know how much modification is necessary. They are some of my favourite seats, maybe not the most supportive, but I think they look good, are comfortable, and are very adjustable.

If you mean the dashboard part then I have seen an E30 in a magazine with an E36 dashboard but again I don't know how much modification was needed.

I don't know about the rear seats or door trims.

bottymans rieger cab has e36 m3 evo seats in the front and i'm not sure about the rear, try sending him a PM/e-mail and ask him what he found.
