I believe they will physically fit, yes. However E36 springs and dampers are both longer than E30 ones so they will raise your ride height. Also, may have problems with damper travel - it”˜ll be almost fully compressed most of the time on an E30.

Damping rates and spring rates will be the other issue, too high and too hard for the e30 due to the extra mass of the e36.
