Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / My m42 build

I read the reply that was given in the bf. I am new here but can say is that the peole that seem to be there are all about there own and do not seem to care or help other bimmerphiles. All they want to do is compare theres to yours and "THRASH'' on your for doing something new. I have been a member for about a week now and these guys here have lots of knowledge and are more than willing to share it with you whenever they can. That is why this thread was started in my opinion. As it was said before there are alot of rebuilds going on here including myself so keep us updated. Have a god one

Does anybody know if you can put a e36 5 lug wheel being into the e30 housing. I am not a fan of the 4 lug now.

Hey guys thanks forthe reply. Ya the donor car is bare bones. I bough the shell about a year ago and did a complete restoration on it but never did anything with it. It sat in a storage unit since. I have been waiting for something, and then this is good timing I guess. I need to spray the shell with color and thats it. all metal work has been done. i have the glass out of it and it sits on a dolly. No subframe no dif or housing not even carpet or seats. all of the wiring is still there, thanks God. It is good to hear about the wiring. That was my only concern. I will get my pics together and have them posted so you can see what  got into. I do appreciate the concern and support. If anybody is in the Indianapolis area and want to see this, let me know. also for parts there is a dismantler here that has more e30 parts than anybody I am aware of. They have at least 10 to 15 complete m42's sitting inside a shed with ECU's for $450-$600. If you can think of it, other than m3 parts, they seem to have it. Hope this helps someone.

Here is there info

My 1991 318is red with only 110k decided to let a tire go at the top of a left hander. Lost the car and hit a tree head on. I can not save the body both front supports are done. I have a mint 1990 325is body that is stripped down except for the electrical. Can I transplant my drivetrain into this body and use the 325is harness or would i need to transfer all of that as well. Will the motor mounts lineup or am i in to deep already.
