    260 is a great option. It's an e30 unit as well.

      You can use the getrag or zf from the e36 or you can reuse a getrag 260 from an e30. You could also use a getrag 240 from a late 318i, must be an m42'd car though, not a fan of that option, I have it in my car. I'd go getrag 260 from an e30 325i, cheaper to find and came out of an e30 I guess is why I'd do it. Lots of better reasons out there, but thats why I'd use that one.

          Did you just come from e30tech? Try to say that again one more time. Did not come thru the internet.

                      Searching isn't asking questions, try the search function up top. Its the word 'Search'

                        No, you are asking questions that have been beaten like dead horses. Your correct method of "searching" would be to for similar questions. If I'm not mistaken by your posts, I'll assume english is not your primary language. Try to properly word questions if you are gonna ask them.
