Was doing some reading and found out you can fit e46 steering racks to a e30.

I have a dead 01 e46 320ci, would this be the correct steering rack to fit?
Is there any other swap over bits? The cars engine is toast but the rest is fine to steal for pieces.

I know about the rack. Just making sure it is the right one and if anything else is worth stealing off a e46 to be put into a e30. Brake conversion etc.
