a mate of mine has a 325i auto on a G plate and wants to know if he can fit a manual gearbox to it

how much of a job would this be and would there be many parts required..

Easy enough job, although it involves getting under the car and lifting heavy oblects around.
Besides the obvious, you need propshaft, reverse light loom and preferably diff.
Don't forget to push a spigot bearing into the end of the crankshaft, and there's no bracket to mount the clutch fluid resevoir on.
