i did the obligatory search but couldnt find any good posts about it.

is it worthwhile? expensive? any forum users done it and can/will share some info?

Plenty have done it, and there have been plenty of posts about it.
You must be doing something wrong with the search function!
Basically it's easy to do, bearing in mind you have to lift around some heavy pieces of kit., though there's a lot more involved than you might think at first thought.
Best approach is to get a complete rusty or damaged donor.

i have recently had experience of two 325 sports converted to manual and they were among the best e 30's ive driven the engines and drive trains simply dont wear as much on autos so conversions make very good cars. (unlike most 325's which im sorry to say are very tired)

I have ALL the bits for a conversion in a running 1990 325 if any one is interested.
