Keeping the 320i gearbox wen taking out the 320 engine will be best to take the gear box out while attached to the engige or leave the gear box in an just take the engine out on its own

I would always take the engine/gearbox out as a single unit,then swap the 'box onto the replacement engine along with the starter motor.
