So i've done some research, I am trying to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday by overhauling this M52 from this 328i I just bought for parts and swapping it into her car, I am using the ZF setup for my car(trans, driveshaft etc) her 318i is 5 speed swapped with a getrag.

So far what I believe I will need to get the car going is:

M52
DME
Harness
Cluster
Align the DME to the 318 EWS(this will work right? rather then swap all the stuff from the 328)
Radiator, hoses, etc.
Exhaust
Swaybar

And thats all? Will her trans and driveshaft still work?

I know there is several threads but none had a direct answer for me, I have limited time to get this all set up
