Hi can anyone tell me if a 325i auto box will work on a m42 318is. I'm looking to create an auto 318is is this possible.

thanks
Monty

I could be wrong, but the M42 throttle body does not have provisions foe the M40 'kick down' cable, maybe the M44 from the Z3 could be made to fit, but i think that engine would not have one either as the GB ECU would interface in to the Engine ECU.
