i need a new engine for my 320i and am not having much luck but have found an auto engine (mine is manual) what would be involved in fitting this to my car? would it be a mega job?

Not a problem at all. You need the flywheel from your old engine, and need to push a spigot bearing into the end of the crankshaft.
This should be in tech help, by the way.

You'll also need to change the throttle position switch over, the auto has a round connector as opposed to the rectangular manual type.

Its cars with the switchable auto box that have the different TPS, but there's no problem using the auto one and engine loom on a manual. Extra contacts just aren't used.
