I heard the e34 radio aerial could be made to fit. Its not an automatic retractable one like the e30 one but kind of a box unit thing, doing away with the need for an external aerial.

I have no idea, possibly. Thats what I wnted to find out as I thought its quite a cool upgrade, especially given my experiences with intermittently working electric aerials.

Some of the ECUs will work, e.g., the M20/M30 engined ones.

If 7-series E32 ones can be made to fit, as some on here have done, then I'd imagine it's possible.
