It was a m42 iS gear box. You can tell with the longer part to the output shaft

Re: m42 gearbox
Main bit is different gearbox ratio, e36 use around the 3.45 area.
Not sure on exact lengths between e36 and e30 iS gearboxes.
If you use the e36 gearbox the compact prop and small case diff would work
Easiest option is m42/40 clutch m40 gearbox m40 prop and 3.91/4.10 diff all easily avalible.

Both great hills, Crackington has a nice tricky clay area that is not natural to the area and strangely gets wet on a dry day.

Re: Boot lock jammed - cant open boot
if you have a ski hatch get in there with a meter piece of wooden dowl and tape a 10 mm spanner on and undo the latch that is atached to the car side, it will allow you to open it then figure out what the problem is.
