    Help my buds need info on S50

    Hello buds am looking into a swap it's a 1995 325is, but the motor is auto tranny, Can I swap in a five speed? . What other stuff will have to make this swap run a-1?

    a 325is will be an m50 not an s50. If whether a tranny can be swapped is a question, then you have a tonne of research and learning to do before you will be able to perform a swap. I'd start by reading the entire 24v swap sticky at the top of this page as nearly every question you might have is answered in there.

          Steaksauce in the transmission? Sounds reasonable.

            Maybe if you insert a bentley inside the bellhousing the transmission might turn into a manual?
