Not gonna happen. For one, the ecu in the e30 is much different than an e36 so therefore how could they have a chip that could deal with both? e30 ecu's have numerous things that are different, including the lack of knock sensors.

The m44 and m42 are dimensionally identical, different intake manifold than the e30 variant, but I can't imagine the two not being interchangeable physically.
