if it is a 325i m20 engine the gearbox you asked about is as rare as rocking horse s*&t.but the ones i mentioned will bolt up to a m20 . has a std gearbox layout but has the closer ratio's
-
what engine type is it to used for. if its a m20 m40 m50 type you can use a box from a e36 318i 320i 325i 328i etc they have a 1:1 top gear . i have some

my thoughts too . if it was black i would be tempted the odd 1998 1999 models with 100+ ks sell for around $45-55k so $65k for a 2003 is pretty good

thats normal ,. just hold it in place when tightning the head bolt up . it will stay there when its tight

doesn't matter that you have the auto one . it has 2 functions one function is to tell the ecu if you are full thottle or idle (both manual and auto switches have that part) the other part is a varriable resistor to tell the auto ecu box where your foot is on the gas pedal so it can work out when to change gear etc . so that part will just go no where important when you convert it to a manual.

they hardly ever fail . just go good second hand one . i have never had one fail on any of my e34's and have only sold a couple of the last six years . not unlike the e36 , e39 , e38 ones .

pretty straight forward on the old stuff. make sure the donar gearbox and flywheel have the sensor trigger pionts as per the side left side of your auto box or the car wont run. as far as the wiring goes you can remove the auto switchable wiring loom if you want (they unplug and have a couple of plug that just plug back together so it will start) . or just bypass the switch with a jumper wire etc. call me if you are not to sure 021433600

yes it was a auto . i just used the latest and lowest millage car i could find to do the hartge conversion with . but i used all the manual bits from a e34 535i except i used a lighter e28 type flywheel rather than the bulky dual mass units they normally use . the car went very well . i had it on the dyno got about 132kw with a chipped ecu but unfortunatly it pinked a little unless i ran it on 98octane . so was sold with just a std ecu about 126/8 kw .(normally about 110kw) but i think with a proper remap (which i was planning to do but then sold the car) it should get about 140kw its got a very rare hartge H5Sk head on it . also a proper hartge body kit etc .
-
yea right !!dont think pick-a-part get many e36 328i e39 528i cars in
-
yup . and yes it has a pretty much fully rebuilt engine . hartge head, std cam , valve grind , 10:1 pistons , new rings , bearings etc , gasgets etc . could do with a remap of teh ecu to get the full benefit of the engine mods 3.45lsd jamex springs with new bilsteins , full hartge body kit . (had most of the front , body kit and boot lid repainted etc) 17" by 8" bbs alloys . std exhaust , black leather interior , recaro type sport seats in front which really could do with a redye back to black (was a very dark blue). i spent a fair bit of money on it a few years ago . started with a highish spec'd Sth african 535iA with lowish k's (130,000km) and proceded to mod it with all the goodies i had .

i had a 99 e39 540i touring . a bit of a fast boat realy , loads of power ,very smooth , but very boring to drive . i didn't like the self leveling suspension in the rear , kicked and bouced a bit (and stupid money to repair) also the late v8's have some expensive things to go wrong , water cooled alternator, nosiy vanos units etc etc
