jjs 60 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 WHat?! He spent $7k putting SMG in a 520i? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2915 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Could have bought a bigger engine for that price.. The whole point of an M5 is not how it looks, it's how it drives. Can't see a 520i with some screw on bits will drive quite the same somehow?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1051 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 I wonder if the 7K smg trans upgrade was just some screw on bits, and someone made $6800 profit from the guy? Is that why it's about $7K (at least) too expensive? Well... it could be even MORE embarrassing: Bahahaha! Especially with the ///M badge done all wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) To put a SMG box in it would cost more than 7k??? If that gearbox was out of a M5 it would be thinking "hmmmm, maybe I'm hooked up to an M5's starter motor these days" Edited December 22, 2012 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted December 23, 2012 It would have to be if it had that gearbox... Yeah, that is really bizarre, I'd love to see what the receipt actually reads... Who, in their right mind would spend all that time hooking one up to a 2.2 six? It's completely baffling, especially for 7k. Surely it is just a SMG look-a-like shifter from Ebay China and the seller is telling porkies about the costs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
