A bit of advice needed will a 99 e36 compact rear beam/trailing arms/driveshafts fit directly into a 89 e30 ?

Compact rear beam is the same as an E30 one, but the rest of the stuff I'm not so sure about. Are you attempting a 5-lug conversion then?

Yes buddy, have the complete rear beam (hubs/driveshafts/diff/brakes/rear trailing arms) from a 318ti compact, wanted to get it all shot blasted and powder coated before fitting new bushes and replacing the diff with a z3M diff then fitting it to my e30 but didn't want to go and spend x amount of money to not be 100% sure it was all a direct fit
