hi all i have my e30 coupe with M40B16 and i'm thinking to swap it to the 1.8is. what should i do or buy before starting ?
Welcome 
Swapping to the 318iS M42 engine is a good call for an M40 engined car if you don't want to go for a 6cyl. It's also a fairly easy swap and for the most part, pretty much a bolt in job.
There is the E30wiki (link in the banner above) that covers most things, so first port of call would be a read through the link below and then ask about anything you're not sure on.

There is also the search function that should bring up a number of threads about swapping to an M42
