Anything can fit if you want it to.

However, an E36 setup won't just bolt on or off, mainly because E36's are 5 stud.

Nope. Needs to be 318ti rear arms and E36M3 Evo bottom arms and kingpins up front to work.
Any other E36 stuff is no good.

You would be much better off getting E30 disc rear arms.
