hi there guys right as a daily mess about toy im thinking of getting myself a nice 328i sport however most the nice ones seem to be auto!! if i bought a auto and wanted to convert to manual how hard is it to do the full job properly cutting no corners and wat would i need , is it much different from converting a e30s auto - manual ??

i assume id need

328is manual box
clutch new

I've been looking at these aswell very cheap at the moment but like you say alot are autos .
I would of thought you'd be better off buying a manual

I may be selling my soon its a manual and in very good condition. P reg 100 000 miles full service history met blue with black leather no rust at all there are prone to rot the rear arches. Make me an offer pal ill send pics if needed.

also need flywheel and all bolts front half of propshaft. Also the metal pipe that runs behind the engine along the bulkhead. Use an aeroquip pipe in place of the flexi pipe from body to gearbox.


Converted my E36 325i from wrongness to manual a while back
