Hello e30 zone. Long time reader, first time writer.

Here's my situation: Tomorrow I'm going to look at an 84 318i that includes a wrecked 92 325 for the engine swap. Other than the motor and all it's acessories, what can I salvage from the e36 that can be used on an e30? Also, I've read the engine swap info and know i need the engine's harness or loom, but is there anything else I'll want to make sure I take? ECU?

Any and all help is much appreciated from California! Cheers :cheers:

Probably the rechargeable small torch in the glove box, the E30 has the same.

e36 outer tie rods come in handy for E46 steering rack swap.
