Yes, but at a funny angle which means custom/modded gearbox crossmember and linkage and you will need a diff change to one with the appropriate ratio for the E30 gearbox. Not sure which propshaft you would need.

Quite a bit of work and no real gains unless youre fitting it complete with E36 325i engine.
