HI I HAVE A 318 CAB MANUAL WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE TO 325I WITH A SWITCHABLE AUTO BOX. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I WOULD NEED TO CHANGE THE COMPLETE WIRING LOOM OF THE CAR.

THANKS.

Nope, just change out the engine loom

using a switchable auto makes the whole job a lot harder though dude as the car needs a full strip out to run the wiring into the boot for the S/.Auto ECU.

being a 318 also adds some complications with running gear but @ least the cabs have disc all round and 51mm struts in front( all 325i stuff)

Better swop options out there, and manual is more desirable IMHO.
