I looked into this a while ago for my mk2. I found a website with a full how to guide but don't have the link anymore. I think the general idea was to use the mk1 frames and put brackets onto the BMW light units that match up with the adjuster location. Got a feeling you have to trim a little bit of metal off the frames though. If I can find the link again I will post it up here for you.

This might be slightly helpful. Not what I was looking for but not a bad simple guide.

I seem to remember there was a good write up on how to do this on Timbo's site - can't remember the full site name!

I did a write up but I think its long gone WVM.

the pics are still up here bud http://www.greenpod.homecall.co.uk/e30/

I recall shaving everything possible off the E30 cases and then shaving almost everything off the metal frame.

I made a start on this conversion a while ago and concluded that custom headlight mounting frames are the way forward, theres a few nicely done examples over on vortex that have used custom frames, i will use aluminium for my frames when i get a bit of time to do it
