Hi, i am just going to start my conversion, my E30 is a 2.0 auto, the engine and box is an M30 with a manual box, i would prefer auto, can the 2.0 box be used or will i need an E34 auto box? and will the E34 auto box fit in the E30 tunnel? thanks.

You will need the m30 slush box along with the flywheel nd a few other bits. I would leave it manual or fit a m20b25 of you want auto.

I reckon a M30 auto would be nice to drive in an E30, yes as above the auto box fits in the tunnel etc.. There's a guy running one in a cab, Martin is his name but user name is something like MJZX6R.
Hang on to the manual box though as there getting rare and in turn going up in value.
Edit.... his user name is MJJ_ZX6RR
