92 E30 525i RETROFITTING

[Quietdnt]

So I just got myself an old e30, it runs okay but theres a lot of work ahead. I'm not looking to restore the car I want to build something new as a project.

So my question is: can you retrofit parts from other BMW cars to upgrade the car?
(Finding the exact parts to rebuild the car can nickel and dime me to death)
So I was thinking of getting a parts car maybe a e34 or something.

I'm looking to swap the M50 engine to the N54 engine if possible.
