Hola, I've recently fitted a e36 318is box to my m20 and as soon as I drove it the 'tested and perfect' gearbox crunched into 3rd gear on every shift. Box is coming out today/tomorrow and the guy I bought it off with warranty said he has a 323 box he will swap. The ratios are the same but does anyone know about dimensions?

Yes they are the same - but 323i Tourings have the big 328i box. God knows why.
