An M30 auto will have had an easier life so if you can find an M30 box go for it

Put a wanted post on here for a manual box (you will need to register)

don't forget a flywheel and clutch

if you need to source one, look out for the E28 M30 flywheel as it's lighter than the E34 one. however the clutches are harder to come by and more costly.
