Heino 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 btw if you want to do launches, id suggest a manual not really fussed with launching a bmw i saw a video of one trying to and he f**ked his cv joint i believe. but if i get a 328 with 98000kms on the clock itll be worth manual converting unlike a m43 316i with 165,000kms. Thanks tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heino 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 If you want manual...buy a manual... I suggest you do some research before you jump into this dont really care if its auto. my dad knows a little bit about cars and what to buy and what not to buy. Its guna get checked and if i can afford a manual conversion and if its not to much ill do it.. because im not fussed about how much i put in a car coz im 18 and dont have a morage and all that jazz i just have my car so if i wana do something ill save up and get it done.

*Glenn* 855 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 You will need a mortgage to convert it to manual The cheapest way to convert a E46 Auto to manual is : Buy an Auto $10-15,000... Buy a Manual E46 $15,000 -$25,000 & swap number plates... Or I can supply a list of parts that would cost between $10 & $15,000 and do it for about $7-$10,ooo Labour Depending on vehicle options, control units, wiring looms Etc.

Jacko 2158 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Dude. E36 316 is a very different car to an E46 328. $1800 is not a flat rate charge, or you'd see a whole bunch of ferrari flappy paddle gearboxes on tardme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
