I'm planning a swap in my little 318 and have got a euro M3 e36 rear end to drop in

Z3M axles ahve different size diameter on wheel end and require M bearings which will then require M trailing arms... From a cost perspective having custom axles made is a better bet, since the M pieces are still a gamble since they weren't made for this much torque.
