As above I've been offered a m52 from an e36 cab auto, just wanted to check that there isn't any complications due to it being from an auto car?

Thanks.

the loom will have a lot more crap that's not needed is all ....don't forget to get the correct spigot bearing for wich ever gearbox you use . these can be m40 or m42 or e36 zf boxes ,each box will require the correct prop shaft 320i ,325i 0r e36 2.8i manwell in same order as above boxes ,using either e30 box will also require some 320i gear selectors ....nothing to it :mad:

Ah that's good news then, I'll be using my m42 box so I'll need a 325i propshaft and 320 gear selectors then?
