Hi people,
This is the situation wanted another 2.5 sport for a while now,
After searching and looking at rot boxes for months I found a buitiful tech 2 with the best history I've ever seen!
Anyway ended up buying it only problem it's auto, I've been out this weekend and I can't get on with it just don't feel right!!
So this is the question, do I convert it to Manual using proper sport box ect or just leave it as its so original?
Is it going to lose some value by doing this?
I'm not thinking of selling it any time soon, what is your thought?
Help needed do I convert my auto to manual??!!!!

Keep all the auto bits so you can change it back if needs be. I think cars are made to driven and enjoyed so I do what it takes to improve my driving plesure. If it's an investment put it in a dry garage and get a second cheap E30 to mod and enjoy!!!

Was going to keep all the bit if I do swap boxes over.

Afraid im in the other camp and much prefer autos to manuals, i discounted lots of nice 325i Manuals to find my 325i Auto, so I'm a firm leave it be as i like things original ...but were all different and at the end of the day its your car
