Does anyone know if an e36 rack will fit straight in to an E30 for my M50 swap or do i have to do any thing to it to make it fit?

I fitted an E46 rack, which is very similar to an E36 rack, so this may also be of some help to you:

I have an E36 rack + M50 swap - no mods required. Just bend some pipes and fit it in the front holes - jobs a goodun! :cool:
