Other possible (but more expensive) donor cars?

[paul the 6th]

I've done a lot of driving this week but noticed quite a few cars which I thought could *possibly* be used as donors simply for their FR steering/transmission setup except the costs would be significantly higher.

I noticed a bmw 1 series which I know is the only "1" in it's class with rear wheel drive. Would the major components from one of these be useable albeit at a cost?

Also, mazda rx8's - are they rear wheel drive? would the rotary engine be unusually bigger?

Vauxhall omega too - I'm sure someone once told me they were rwd?

was just a thought
