Check with Ray @ HELLBM a forum sponsor. He can do a drive in, drive out for a very sharp price

Maybe do a 2.5L m50 swap at the same time as going manual.

Do it.

Don't know how hard it is to put a M50B25 into an E36, but do that too.

Well it's got a m50b20 in it now and m50's dooo come out of e36's.

yeah, but is it easy/worthwhile to do.

I hear it's not really worthwhile doing a B25/Manual swap from an Auto/B20 E30.

What? Its not really worth converting an auto 320 to a manual b25?

Best thing I ever did!

Well, It depends... You could just buy a Manual 325i which is easier.

imo It depends on what the parts cost. Being in Dunedin... All of the money
