I have the opertunity to lay my hands on an e36 compact 1.8 8v auto for next to nothing due to headgasket failure. I'm thinking this may be a cheap way to a 5 stud conversion.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Also, what is involved?
Thanks
e36 compact, 5 stud conversion on e30 info needed

No such thing as a cheap 5-lug conversion. Even if you use the E36 rear parts, you'll still need either E36 M3 or M Z3 parts for the front, both of which carry a hefty price premium.
