Hi I'm doing a auto to manual conversion on my bmw e30 320i an wanted to know if it's possible to use a gearbox out of a e30 318is. Thanks

Possible yes, easy/ideal no. The gearbox will be rotated by about 10 degrees meaning you'd need a modified gearbox crossmember and gear linkages.

It will be much simpler to use all 320i or 325i parts.
