I want to convert my 2dr m40 to an m20 so im guessing this is the easiest conversion to do. I have a donor touring which is an auto. I want to convert to manual aswell. What parts do I need? I have a list of-
saloon prop shaft
manual gearbox
spignot ( will do more research on this)
manual box mountin
325i saloon exhaust (wheres a good place to get a standard one cheap?)

What modifications will I need to do to the wiring?

Cheers Rich
