with so many 525/535 sports around that are auto, and more than likley recieved less stick, im considering buying an auto and converting (unless a black 318iS actaly turns up!)
soo for a 525sport which gearbox can be used (barring the 525iS manual obviously) e36 325? other e34 g'box? and is the lsd in the auto different ratio to the one in the manual?
thanks

depends...cloth or leather, metric wheels or normal, service history (more important than milage imo)
a veeeery nice 535sport went on pistonheads alittle while ago for 2k yet i missed out on a high milage (straight n honest) black standard 525sport last night for 550!
