        If you use Firefox there is a plug in called Foxlingo that will translate the website automatically.

            Which year models 6 speeds will work for the S52 swap?
            I have seen E34 getrag 6 speeds from 540i and E39 6 speed for sale. Will these work? Any other year, options to look for?

            thanks!!

              I was shipped the wrong DS. The e36 auto M3 DS works with the 6-speed.

                That Foxlingo add on is awesome! Thanks for the tip.

                The trans brace on 300mm.de looks like it would cease to brace in short order if used as anything other than a wall ornament.

                    No. Bolt pattern on V8's won't fit M50 family blocks.

                      Great write-up. I'm going to have to start sourcing parts for this swap.

                        Just a quick update for anyone doing this swap and gathering parts. I've purchased a custom brace from Tyler at ArcAsylum that I'm very pleased with. Also if you follow most post about the slave cylinders for the e36 325is, the E36 M3, and the E46 M3 having the same rod lenth they are wrong. The one you definitely need is the E36 325is slave. This particular slave is just over 3/16 of an inch shorter than the E36 M3 slave. Using the E36 M3 slave will cause the clutch not fully disengage and clutch slipping will occure. Ask me how I know this.

                            Thanks for the update. Any truth to an e36 auto x brace working? You have contact info for Tyler?

                              Never tried the E36 Xbrace. Just bought one from Mason Engineering.

                                Sorry. I meant the transmission cross brace.
