Chris Gibbs did design an adaptor to allow you use 3 series front uprights with standard wishbones. there is a drawing of it somewhere on the forum, sorry, i don't have time to search for it and link to it right now.

I think the later E36 differential can be used, the earlier one is not very suitable as it's mounts are all on one side. Not sure about drive shaft length either.

I'm using an E34 5 series rear end, but with a LOT of modification to the chassis. 5 series front hubs are unsuitable, but again, has been done, by Chris Gibbs brother in law.
