Z3 1.8/1.9 uses the same gearbox as the E36 318is (Getrag 250) but different shifter arm and shift lever mechanisms. I believe the Z3 uses a short shifter set-up.

I own an E36 but I believe you can put the Getrag 250 into an E30 so I would say yes.

The gear ratios are totally different. You will have to swap your diff.
