E36 3.0ltr M3s from Jan 95 will have EWS, the earlier 94 models dont. All 3.2 Evos have EWS.

S50B30 is ok with all the 6 cyl 5 speed ZF boxes so 323/325/328 is fine.

if you meant the EWS box, then you'll need all the EWS gubbins, the key and the ring antenna

E36 323/325 Getrag boxes are slighty smaller and lighter than the ZF box and have a different output flange for the prop IIRC, meaning the E30 M3 prop wont fit so an E36/E30 combo is needed for the conversion. I think the 328i box is the ZF, same as the M3 5spd.
